Beatiful Sunset at the Camp - This is a hard hike, make sure you are prepared. No water source between Alder Flats and the ridge. No access to toilet until Aug.8. Lots of bugs.

Beautiful views. Just wondering, I'm looking for a spot on the mountain with beautiful views of the lower mainland, did you see any on your trip?

Can't confirm but the amount of trash hikers leaving in the shelter I wouldn't be surprise.

Hi. What is the name of this hike?

u/jpdemers Aug 03 '25

"Golden Ears summit trail" or "Golden Ears trail". The top ridge is called Panorama Ridge.

Yall thing the bugs subside near the end of August, that's when I plan to go. Also the waterfall at the ridge is that still around at that time?
