This is a loop hike that has open ancient forests with massive Douglas Firs towering overhead and unbelievable views of North Cacscade peaks from a vast meadow. The larches should be turning golden at this time of year. The hike will begin and end at Bridge Creek Trailhead. Distance will be between 12 and 14 miles with 2200 feet elevation. We will take a side trip up Stilleto Peak trail to get a view of the mountains and larches. PCT mileage will be 4+ miles. This is the first of 2 hikes that will take place in the North Cascades this weekend. We will be car camping at a campground in the North Cascades on Saturday evening.
