Report

I left in the middle of the night from the Suiattle River Trail trailhead to be at a viewpoint on the Miners Ridge for sunrise. This plan nicely succeeded.

I wandered along the ridge to Suiattle Pass during the day, climbing a couple of small points along the way. Great views of Glacier Peak

Left the Image Lake area around 2pm in the afternoon to be back home. The Suiattle River trail is in outstanding condition with a large crew working on remaining issues. The trail up the ridge has a number of blowdowns, but nothing complicated.
