Mt. Higgins Lookout Trail

A party of MBC members hiked to the former site of the Mt. Higgins Lookout, west of Darrington. Late June; the trail was in good condition and snowfree until the last 500 ft. of gain. Remains of the snow-collapsed lookout still evident. Cliffs provide dramatic views and potentially lethal falls, be careful. Side trip to Myrtle Lake was well worth it. Lovely full pool thanks to beaver activity. Rock carved memorial “S Strom 1917” still clean and visible (look for it on way down). Many flowers.
