Washington's Black Peak is on the eastern side of North Cascades National Park and is by far one of the best hikes in the park and possibly the entire state. Black Peak originates at the popular Maple Pass Trailhead. Maple Pass Trail in Washington State is very popular and for good reason! This trail sits on the eastern cusp of North Cascades National Park. The Maple Pass Trailhead is the starting point to the summit of Black Peak which lies just inside the borders of North Cascades National Park. Black Peak is definitely one of the best trails in all of Washington and North Cascades National Park. Three incredible alpine lakes lie between the Maple Pass Trailhead and the summit of Black Peak. The first being the very popular Ann Lake, just a couple miles from the trailhead. Next, Lewis Lake, where the summit of Black Peak becomes very apparent. Finally, Wing Lake which sits directly below the approach and summit of Black Peak. This adventure can be conquered in one very strenuous day or split it up with an easier summit attempt by camping near Wing Lake. Either way, be ready for 15 total miles and around 5,500 feet of elevation gain. Although very tough, this adventure has beautiful alpine lakes and never ending peaks which showcase the "American Alps".
