Thornton Lakes and Trappers Peak — Saturday, Jul. 12, 2025

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

Solid day on the trail. Great weather. Minor snow patches to cross but they are tiny. Not a big parking lot

The beginning is pretty easy and flat then it gradually gets harder until the forks to go to the lake or peak. There are a couple sketchy spots on the summit push and you will want to make sure you are comfortable with scrambles before you go.

Know you limits and don’t over do it. There are some streams/ creeks along the route. The peak was 100% worth it but has some pretty sketchy spots where a lot of people turn around at
