Already you get views southwest to White Chuck Mountain, south to Sloan Peak, and southeast to Glacier Peak. Then the trail rounds the end of a ridge, traverses north, and drops 150 feet to shallow tarns in fragile meadows.
Erosion here is severe.
The braided trail can be slippery from snowmelt or rain. Do your best not to initiate yet another path. You'll also find that here on the shaded north side of the ridge, snow lingers many weeks longer than on the south slope. If you camp near the meadow, use an established dirt site so you don't crush more grass. After climbing above the tarns, the trail enters a basin probably snow covered until mid-July where you can see the trail slicing toward the summit of Green Mountain.
