While not so easy as the name would suggest, it’s not particularly difficult for experienced hikers — 3.5 miles and 2800 ft one way to the pass. And the payoff in views of the N Cascades makes it more than worth the effort. Fantastic vistas if the Fisher Creek Valley, as well as the surrounding peaks. Once you get out of the forest after the first mile or so it’s all nonstop views and wildflowers. Currently, the trail is snow free, and the wildflowers are out, including the carpeting of purple heather at the top. It’s worth taking the time to walk a few hundred yards over the pass to take in the views on the other side of the pass from a few vantage points. It’s also surprisingly uncrowded.
