Backpacking in North Cascades (Lake Ann) | Snow Camping in July 2022 | Washington

The delayed snow melt has put a wrench in some of our overnight hiking trips this summer. On July 8, 2022 - we decided roll with it and hike to Lake Ann, spending a night in the mountains within the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest. I car camped at the trail head and the next day, my mom and I were in complete solitude. No people, only the crunching snow and sound of glacier water melting.

Washington is truly a magical place. I plan to explore more of Mount Baker and the North Cascades National park. I left my dog behind this trip as it was the first overnight of the season. But, the trail IS dog friendly!

Lots more outdoors and mountain adventures with my dog to come. Subscribe if ya want :).
