Cascades - Last Week of August
Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2013 1:49 pm
Woo Hoo! My son and his friend finally bought their airline tickets, so I guess it's official. I'm taking my one week long trip this year and heading to the Cascades. Flying into Seattle on 8/24 - head home on Labor Day. Plan on spending Sunday - Thursday in North Cascades National Park. At the end of the trip on Saturday and Sunday I'll be out solo, most likely in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Nothing technical planned - just a bunch of dayhikes (with hopefully some scrambling thrown in).
Sun-Mon up in the Mount Baker Highway area
Tues-Thurs base camping out of Newhalem
Sat- Sun working out of Salmon la Sac
Thanks to Adam and Matt (and SP), I pretty much have the list of hikes/summits I want to go after, with plenty of alternates (as I always seem to change some plans at the last minute ).
No real question to post for now, but I'm sure between now and August I'll have a few...and I'll probably just post them here. This will be my first trip to the Cascades and I am really looking forward to it!
