Buckhorn Mountain, Charlia Lakes Way Trail, Marmot Pass by UsuallyLurking

Two night trip via the UpperBig Quilcine. Snow is gone until you hit the other side of Marmot Pass. Then there’s a few snow patches, one was kind of tricky and trekking poles would be good to have! Buckhorn Mountain was straightforward with gorgeous views from the top. A few more snow patches on the way to Charlia Lakes but again nothing too bad. The lakes are beautiful, and well worth visiting. A few good campsites nestled along the upper and lower lakes. We stayed along the upper lake the last night and got all the way back to the car easily the next day.
