Pacific Crest Trail North to Snowy Lakes
For a Fabulous 4 days in August
This trek starts at Rainy Pass, Pacific
Crest Trail North trailhead off the North Cascade Hyway, 4500 ft. elevation. Three
drainages are traversed on this spectacular section of the PCT. The first 5.5
miles travels through forests and increasingly
open meadows to Cutthroat Pass, 6300 ft elevation. From here we follow the Crest of
the Cascades 4 miles to a meadow
camp 1/2 mile from Snowy Lakes. and the surrounding peaks. We camp there 3 nights and
return on the fourth day. So
much to see and do you would never want to leave. The snow melts late in this
area and usually isn't available until August.
