Bagley Lakes
North Cascades
updated 3 weeks ago
The Bagley Lakes trail is in good condition, with no snow reported as of October 16. The road is suitable for all vehicles, and bugs are not an issue. Some reports mention minor obstacles that pose few problems, and construction on puncheon work near the new bridge was noted on September 14. One hiker found the second half of the loop to be rockier with roots and more of a climb compared to the first half. Wildflowers were seen on the trail in late August.

Smoky but still beautiful. I saw some uncool behavior around the lakes - people meadow stomping to collect wild blueberries and one woman carrying a bouquet of picked wildflowers. Grr.
