East Bank Baker Lake — Saturday, Mar. 8, 2025

Hiked in to Noisy Creek for a one-nighter on Saturday and hiked out the next morning. Steady rain on the way, with a reprieve for breakfast Sunday morning, and then soaking rain on the way out. No snow anywhere along the hike, but visible on the peaks of this hills above. Pretty flat trail with relatively little ups and downs. There's a big down tree in the last mile of the hike in - best to go up (left) and over than down and under, as you have to get up a steep hill from the down route to rejoin the trail. Creek crossings were easy and the trail was very easy to follow. Baker lake was pretty with its little low hanging clouds snaking slowly by. Say herons and bald eagle and was greeted by very vocal Varied Thrushes in the morning. Sighted a marmot on the way out. Off without a hitch and gloriously wet as advertised!
