Trip Report

Boston Basin — Saturday, Jul. 10, 1999

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Stream crossings on Boston Basin route still challenging due to rapid melt-out of snow bridges and stream volume. Midas Creek can be crossed downstream from trail. Normally tough approach path made more interesting by volume of water and blow-downs in trail/trench. Conditions are changing rapidly; recommend checking with rangers as to current status. Cascade River Road gated at milepost 21 but should open this week. Bear spotted on eastern margin of Forbidden Glacier.
