Hike 9/22 Cascade Pass & Sahale Arm
7 miles, 1800' gain, or up to 11 miles, 3600' gain.
Trip description
This trip will be tailored to both tortoises and hares, as we experience the best day hike in North Cascades National Park-- and a true Northwest Classic. Mid-September is the time to witness the stunning colors of the alpine meadows here, see the first dustings of new snow on the high peaks, and maybe feast on some huckleberries as well. A well-built, well-maintained trail leads you up gradually to the historic pass in the heart of the mountain range, with soaring peaks and glaciers rising above alpine gardens and majestic forests. Make it a moderate trip at a slow pace to reach the 5400' pass (spectacular enough), or-- I won't hold you stronger folks back-- push on to higher heights on Sahale Arm up to 6000', 7000' or more (weather permitting).
