Great hike and one of the few you can do right now (kind-of). You'll have to do 3 miles of road walking/running/ or cycling first. The washout at MP 23 on FR 11 is impressive but very easy to get over. With a bike you'll need a hand. Baker River trail surprisingly withstood the deluge. A few downed trees-and lots of outwashed areas, but really nothing too difficult to get around. The bridge at Lake Creek is half-buried in silt. The crossing is easy-you will get your feet wet-but it is very easy to get through. I was able to get out on the gravel bed on Sulphide Creek for an excellent view of Shuksan. Lots of bear track and some big scat. Had the whole darn place to myself (and the bear of course!)
