Heliotrope heliotrope ridge trail (Mt baker, July)

[Gregory.S.]

My fiance has started to express some interest in my outdoor activities (YAAAAY). She wants to go hiking and take a closer look at mt baker and I was thinking the heliotrope trail would be a good place to go. The only problem is she does not have a TON of hiking experience so I am a little nervous about stream crossings, most notably grouse creek.

 

Has anybody been up there the past week or two? How bad is it? Any other input about the condition of this trail? I have not been up there this time of year before (never earlier than late august).

 

Thanks for your input!
