Ross Lake Trail, North Cascades National Park, WA – July 2013
Our favorites:
Stay: Totem Trail Motel (family-owned, great value, Sonja is a wonderful host)
Eat: Ice cream and organic berries at Cascadian Farms / Tootsie Clark’s famous cinnamon rolls from The Eatery
Do: Thunder Knob Trail (moderate 4 miles – great views of Pyramid Mountain and Diablo Lake – Thanks Ranger Laura!)
See: 8,000 ft glacier-covered peaks everywhere you turn

Really enjoyed the hike, with lots of help carrying the 2 kids coz it’s simply not for push-chairs!!
