Peek-a-Boo Lake — Wednesday, Jun. 14, 2023

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Yay for low clearance?

Great trip up to Peek-a-Boo Lake today!  The road is okay, but I would advise against taking your brand new Tesla up.  As noted in the WTA description, your vehicle will be scratched and will likely bottom out a few times.  I was wishing for higher clearance until I got to the tree across the road (see car photo).  My ancient Civic did great.  I was grateful for front wheel drive and a manual transmission.   Didn’t see another car or person all day.  The trail is mostly clear.  Roots are slippery (duh) and there is still some squishy snow in places.  It was a breeze to traverse, but my dog broke through at one of the meadow tarns and got a bit wetter than he’d intended.  A few bugs, but nothing too bad.  Sun never came out, but we enjoyed the limited views nonetheless.  Lovely wildflowers and blissful solitude!

Happy, tired dog.
