@gwynandami: Stunning 360° views of the North Cascades 🏔️😍 Located in North Cascades National Park, Trappers Peak offers some of the BEST panoramic mountain views at the summit. ✨ This summit hike is non-technical, meaning you don’t need special equipment or skills to reach the top. However there are a few areas of steep rock scramble (I felt pretty safe, though). 🥾🧗🏽♀️ 🧡 SAVE this trail for the next time you visit North Cascades National Park ⤵️ ✨ Trail: Trappers Peak via Thornton Lakes 📏 Distance: 9.7 miles 🏔️ Elevation gain: 3,438 feet 💦 Trail tip: pack PLENTY of water as there are not too many places to filter water on this trail. 🏕️ You CANNOT backpack on Trappers Peak, and backpacking around Thornton Lakes is managed by a competitive permit system through the National Park Service. 🧡 FOLLOW @gwynandami for more FREE Pacific Northwest hiking guides #northcascades #northcascadesnationalpark #nationalpark #washington #washingtonhikes best hikes in Washington | what to do in North Cascades National Park
