Ashland Lakes — Friday, Nov. 28, 2025

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Ashland Lakes by Gracelberrypie

The hike up was pretty easy. There were a few fallen trees in the path that need traversal, but overall the trail is very smooth. Did a little stop off to beaver lake then headed onward to upper Ashland. When we got to upper Ashland lake the boardwalk was completely submerged in certain spots and falling apart. We decided to turn around at that point as we were unsure of the conditions further onward.

This was a pretty mellow hike that is not very populated. Roads were getting a bit rough near the end and we parked by the bridge and walked up to the trailhead as a lot of the road has been cut through by water flow.
