Desolation Peak — Tuesday, Jul. 24, 2007

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

Trail has 3 small blowdowns to step over. Water at 2/3 point is slowing down and will dry up soon.We camped at Desolation camp. The famed lookout looked shabby and run down and the Park Service has left the interior a mess. To bad. I have visited the lookout when it was occupied and it was emaculate and homey with a complete library of Kerouac's books. Still this is the best hike in Washington.
