Hike Helitrope Ridge

08/05/16

This hike was such a great hike if you're looking for something for the day. It's a moderate gain of elevation the whole way, not too hard at all. It's quite a diverse hike as well. You get great scenes while in the trees and then good views in the gaps of the trees. There are 2 big stream crossings that will most likely require you to get wet but it is more than worth it. When you get past the second crossing at the end there is an amazing view of the glacier and if you want you can go up to it. Along with the glacier, you're staring Mount Baker in the face. Overall this is a quick hike that is well worth it.
