After viewing Geyer's Abernathy report and Wildernessed/Hit the Trail's 3AM-Midnight photos I felt I could make the journey north worthwhile.

The stop at Cinnamon Twisp Bakery was reason enough with a warm and soft spinach bacon brioche that never made it to the trailhead.
The Twisp road is in excellent shape with 1 minor creek washout. The Twisp Pass Trail is also in great shape, not yet covered by this year's growth. There are about a dozen trees across the trail to negotiate as you round into the upper valley. Once the horse people get in there, those will be removed. I stopped a half-mile shy of the pass, with word from a couple of returning hikers that it was still buried. Anyway the rocks with a lunch view made the trip quite satisfactory.

Good beta One of my "second list" hikes this the loop up Twisp pass to Stilleto Lake then over to and out on the Copper Pass trail (with a possible trip to Copper Pass). Sort of like the one you and Steve did a few years ago but without the high route attempt.
