Easy Pass & Park Creek Pass Loop

Backpack 59 miles on a loop crossing Easy and Park Creek Passes, and exploring North Fork Bridge Creek. Harvey Manning described Easy Pass views as “dramatic”, Park Creek Pass and its surroundings as “one of the scenic climaxes of the North Cascades National Park,” and North Fork Bridge Creek Trail as leading to a “magnificent . . . huge cirque . . . beneath the ice-hung precipices of 9160-foot Goode Mountain, 8515-foot Storm King Peak, and 9,067-foot Mount Logan.”

information for leaders

Courses, paid clinics, staff-led programs, and course field trips require a Commercial Use Authorization. The Park typically accepts applications for 2-year CUAs  through mid-March each year, and CUA's are activity-specific. Please contact info@mountaineers.org if you would like to apply for a CUA for a field trip or paid clinic for an activity we do not already have a CUA for. Please follow all Mountaineers group guidelines when leading trips or courses in North Cascades National Park. 

Notes:

  • Leaders are responsible for securing backcountry permits or other required permits even if  we have a CUA.
  • Leaders must have all relevant CUAs with them in paper or electronic copy to show Parks Staff as requested. 
  • All Hiking course field trips or paid clinics must have a First aid and CPR certified leader. Current (non-expired) certificates must be uploaded to the park web portal by Mountaineers staff prior to the trip
  • All mountaineering field trips or paid clinics must have a WFR-certified leader and a leader with documented climbing certifications (an AMGA certification OR Mountaineers climb leader with a recent resume of training and experience). Both qualifications must be uploaded to the park web portal by Mountaineers staff prior to the trip
