Skyline Divide — Sunday, Jul. 27, 2003

North Cascades > Mount Baker Area

A group from WNPS headed up to skyline divide to see what was growing on a beautiful monday. Still lots of folks up there. The trail is great and short - two miles or so to the meadows and about 1500'. What a bang for the buck! The meadows glow blue, white and gold with lupine, bistort, valerian and potentilla. Awesome views everyway. We could see the smoke from the Colville fire. The only downside was the zillions of bugs everywhere, especially in the woods, but in the meadows too. Fortunately, they didn't bite much but bring the bug juice. Highly recommended for colors and views.
