AI summary · From the event listing

This Sunday we're heading out to the Mountain Loop Highway for Mount Forgotten — a proper butt-kicker that starts at the shared Mount Dickerman trailhead and traces the Perry Creek Trail before the real work begins. After a mandatory unbridged creek crossing, it's steep, relentless hike up the ridge until the trail breaks into a subalpine wonderland of meadows. From up there you get panoramic views of Glacier Peak, Mount Baker, Mount Pugh, and a whole skyline of North Cascades peaks. 🥾 📍 Hike Details (from AllTrails) Trail: Mount Forgotten Meadows Trail Distance: ~12 miles Elevation Gain: ~4,520 ft Route Type: Out & back Estimated time: 7–8 hours of hiking Pass required: Yes — Northwest Forest Pass / America the Beautiful Pass for the trailhead. Parking is permit required; lot has public restrooms. ⚠️ Trail Notes: * Snow expected — bring microspikes and gaiters * Summit push is conditional: If conditions aren't conducive (deep snow, ice, poor visibility, or sketchy footing), we'll turn back at the meadows and skip the summit push. The meadows are a worthy destination on their own. * Creek crossing: There's a mandatory unbridged creek crossing (near Perry Creek Falls) that often requires rock-hopping or wading.
