This trail starts off slow, then starts uphill on somewhat long/winding switchbacks. Overall, the trail is in great condition, offering a nice glimpse of a waterfall adjacent to the sole campsite at 1 mile.
From here, continue uphill to navigate a few steps/logs that are in place to help you with the steeper parts. You're pretty much in the trees/shade most of the way up.
Around 2.5 miles in, enjoy a few brief glimpses of sky before diving back into the trees. At about 4 miles, you'll break into a nice meadow.
While the trail continues along the meadow (a good place for flowers in the summer), take a moment to turn around for a nice view of Mount Baker.
Continue across the meadow and up a bit more to get to the intersection with the
Damfino Lakes Trail #625. It's fairly open at the top, but you can continue up to the peak for a nice 360 view and a great place for a break. It can get pretty chilly/windy on the top, so bring a wind or rain layer to stay comfortable.
There are quite a few flowers in the meadow, and several chipmunks/squirrels and birds up at the peak.
