Gorgeous views to the west and south from the ridge. If you continue up the very steep, loose gravel, boot path to the notch, fantastic views open up to the north and east revealing Mt. Shuksan, the Picket range, and other peaks in the North Cascades National Park.
There was plenty of room in the parking lot when we arrived and even more available as we were leaving in the evening. Many hikers were climbing Mt. Shuksan, but we just hiked to the glacier.
The trail is in the best condition I've seen it in many years. All the fallen trees have been cut or trampled enough to make it easy to maneuver. The trail still is very rooty near the top.
