A hike along the crest of Sourdough leads past potential campsites like this exquisite little pocket with its view of Davis Peak. I once read an article by someone who had a fetish for counting contour lines.

There's one route on it, put up in 1976 by Anacortes climbers Dallas Kloke and Bryce Simon.
