Meet at the Rainy Pass north side trailhead at 8:40am. We'll start hiking at 9am.
There is nothing better than backpacking in the North Cascades high country in late summer. But note this is a challenging trip due to the elevation, elevation gain, mileage, and rocky trail conditions. See the wta.org trip description here www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/golden-horn
