Hike up to Paddy-go-easy Pass from near the Tucquala Meadows trailhead. Great views of Mount Daniel and the valley till you get up to the pass, and then Cradle mountain comes into view once you crest the pass.
Continue on to Sprite lake, and then go up to the saddle between the two Paddy peaks above the lake for great views of peaks in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness.
A beautiful trail with great views of the jagged peaks of the North Cascades, through meadows and tarns, and then you see a lookout on top of a mountain with jagged rocks. Just before the scramble up the last part, Hidden Lake comes into view and takes your breath away. A climb up car sized boulders takes you inside the lookout for 360 degree views.
