Trail 线路：Trailhead Access:
From the Glacier Public Service Center in Glacier, Washington, travel east on Mt. Baker Highway 542 for 1.9 miles to Canyon Creek Road #31. Turn left on Road #31 and continue about 15 miles. Stay on the main road. The trailhead and parking area are on the right hand side after the road takes two switchbacks.
Description, Attractions & Considerations:
A very popular mid to late summer hike, the Damfino Lakes Trail gains 1100 feet of elevation to reach Excelsior Pass in 3 miles. At Excelsior Pass is a junction with High Divide Trail #630, which hikers may use to explore the high country east along Excelsior Ridge (High Divide) to Welcome Pass.
The trail starts in an old clearcut, quickly entering mature forest. In 0.7 miles a junction is encountered. The left fork is Canyon Ridge Trail #689, which also connects to Boundary Way Trail #688. Take the right fork and reach Damfino Lakes in another 0.1 mile. Tiny Damfino Lakes are skirted by a puncheon bridge walkway. The lakes are surrounded by blueberry bushes, which turn a blazing scarlet in autumn. The trail reenters forest and climbs uphill, breaking out of the forest into an expansive meadow about 1.5 miles past Damfino Lakes. Excelsior Pass can be seen 0.5 miles above. Walk through extraordinary wildflowers in July and August, or wonderful fall color in September and October. Bearpaw Mountain is the prominent peak to the west. Once Excelsior Pass is reached, the white mass of Mt. Baker looms in the hiker's view. Glacier draped Mt. Shuksan and the Canadian Border Peaks are also visible. There are possible campsites below the pass and along Excelsior Ridge, but water is scarce once snowfields disappear in late summer.
具体行车路线：从1号高速向东至Abbortsford过关，进入美国Sumas市，这里有很多油站，可加满油。沿547Highway向东南接 542Highway，向东经过一个叫Glacier的小镇，镇上有一个森林管理处（US Forest Service Ranger Station），有免费地图和介绍。参加的朋友到时候也可以商议是否要选择其他的线路。然后就直接上山。可以在公园公里处买停车票。
