Backpack - Ingalls Creek

Ingalls Creek trailhead, 8:30am Saturday.  Approx drive time 2.5 hours, from Everett via hwy 2/97 or from Seattle via 90/97

Easy pace - Leisurely to moderate.  Ingalls Creek drains a vast area of rugged and stunning beauty. Continuously following the wilderness waterway, let rapids and ripples, crashing cascades and swirling eddies mesmerize you along the way. In spring enjoy a trail lined with flowers--paintbrush, lupine, trillium, glacier lilies, and more. Can hike in 4~5.5 miles, establish camp, then depending on time and group inclination, possibly do a short hike from there.

Northwest Forest pass or America the Beautiful pass required for each vehicle.  Forest pass can be purchased at trailhead.
