Hiking suggestions...

[bakedpow]

I am going to go hiking/backpacking with a couple friends this summer preferably aroudn Baker, but can be anywhere in the North Cascades. I have done a fair amount of backpacking and am looking for suggestions of easier hikes because my buddies aren't exactly outdoor fanatics.

Thanks for the help.

Ya i have done that hike many times. This is one of the top choices.

Vesper Peak, such a great climb and the view is the best in the North Cascades. Sheer 2000' cliff of the back of the peak looking down into Copper basin when you get to the top, great place to stick your feet over and have lunch.

Sounds scenic. Have you done Church by chance?

Preferably a couple day camping trip. But i have all summer to hike so awesome day hikes are appreciated as well.

shit I need to start reading OPs. Scratch Boston Basin and Ptarmigan Traverse.

Enchantments is pretty much still the best area in the state, and it isn't too, too difficult.

Copper Ridge/Whatcom pass is decent.
