Fireweed turns to seed late in the summer.
The trail approaches Byron Creek, which runs along the trail at various points.
Snow can be found in the valley late into the summer. Be careful of snow bridges and falling snow and ice if approach the snow fields.
Byron Glacier lies at the top of the valley. Great views spread out before you. You can see all of the characteristics of a glacier valley on this hike.
On your way back, you can enjoy the view of the mountains above Portage Lake.
