| WILDFLOWER SEASON! |
| The BEST hike this summer that NOBODY is signing up for is Anderson Butte - Friday, August 14 (7 spots remian for this trip!) Be mesmerized by the stunning view of Mounts Shuksan and Baker from this former lookout site in the North Cascade wilderness near Baker Lake. The trail is short but steep, similar to Sauk Mountain. Round trip: 3 miles, 1200 foot gain. Possible side trip to the top of Anderson Butte would add 1 mile, 700 foot gain. |
