Glacier Peak should be on every Cascade mountaineer’s tick list.
While folks averse to walking might complain about the long approach
(about 15 miles each way), it is perhaps the most scenic and
ecologically diverse that I’ve ever done in the Cascades. Our trip
began with a seven mile bike ride up the closed USFS 49 road, since it
was temporarily closed due to a miniscule washout. The biking was quite
reasonable and went quickly with mountain bikes and pull-behind
trailers.
