Heather Lake Snowshoe — Sunday, Jan. 14, 2024

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Icy!  It was a beautiful day for a hike and we thoroughly enjoyed getting up to Heather Lake.  The trail is extremely icy in places and spikes are a must.  Not just the basic YakTrax that some people use on sidewalks, but a higher grade of spikes.  Without those it's easy to fall and hurt yourself.  Snowshoes are not required right now because enough people have tamped down all the snow.  If you're one of the first people right after a snow storm you'll snowshoes as well as spikes.
