Damfino Lakes - Glacier Washington Hikes

A pair of sparkling alpine tarns, surrounded by bright granite and rich huckleberries, awaits you on this route. But for those with the energy and desire, the picturesque lakes are just the beginning of the wonders found on this alpine ramble. Stunning views of the craggy peaks of the North Cascades can be found farther along the trail, and from the top of Excelsior Pass, hikers can bask in the delightful views of Mount Baker far across the Nooksack Valley.
