North Cascade NP – Day Two

It is a beautiful sunny day and we take the morning to hike the Thunder Knob Trail near Diablo Lake. The trail is a gentle switchback climb first through a riparian area with a lovely creek.

We climb into a more open area with occasional beautiful views of mountains with bits of snow on them. When we get to the top, the views are so gorgeous, we did not want to leave.

Tim got this photo after dropping and retrieving his phone behind the log. 😬 He really wanted to get these flowers in the photo!

The weather begins to get cloudy and imminent rain. We decide to drive to the small town of Marblemount to get some cell service. At the Wilderness Information Center we are told that the Cascade River Highway was not open all the way into the National Park, but there was a beautiful viewpoint seven miles in.

The rainy evening is spent in the trailer playing board games.
