East Bank Ross Lake — Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2017

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
views from Rainbow Point campground

Great 2 night overnight on the east bank Ross Lake. Hiked 6.7 miles in to Roland Creek for the first night - ample water flowing, nice big open campsites here. There was even a throne to use. Trail was in good condition, fairly flat though with some ups and downs, and peekaboo views of the lake. 

Second night was spent 2.5 miles down the trail at Rainbow Point campground. Again, 3-4 campsites here, really big and spacious all with nice views of the lake. Big dock here as well. Really nice tent pads, picnic tables, and big bear boxes available at Rainbow Point. Rainbow Point was super windy all afternoon and into the evening, but calm in the morning.

Headed back the 9.3 miles back to the trailhead on the 3rd day. Beautiful weather throughout the trip. Some buzzing bees and bugs got annoying in the late afternoon and evening, but really not terrible.
