Norway Pass and Mount Margaret

Climb your way along historic trail through an eruption-ravaged landscape reach the towering heights of Mt. Margaret and its volcano-filled views. Along the way, wildflowers flourish in an ashen landscape, bringing dazzling colors to mountainsides dominated by ghost-white timber and ashen soil.

Begin your climb from the trailhead, following the dusty Boundary Trail #1 as it crosses the Green River and begins steeply climbing up ash-covered slopes through bones of a blast-flattened forest. The acres of sun-bleached logs and stumps are slowly disappearing beneath a mix of enterprising firs and pines rubbing elbows with alders and willows. Soon switchback above Meta Lake along wildflower-lined trail with Mt. Adams as a backdrop on the horizon.
