Easy Pass — Tuesday, Jul. 24, 2001

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

Even after reading the warnings about this one I had to laugh at the name once I was up there. What a knee bender! An easy log walk across the bridgless stream can be had 1/8 of a mile downstream. Definitely easier than had been reported to me by guidebooks and other folks. The lower meadows have yet to bloom but the upper meadows are in their prime. For the best views scramble up the hill to your right from the pass. 100% snowfree to the pass and far beyond. No bugs! (yet)
