Backpackers' Pajama Party: Chelan Summit Trail and White Pass-Blue Lakes-Pilot Ridge Loop

Back by popular demand:  the eighth in our series of virtual online pajama parties for Mountaineers backpackers and anyone else who loves to learn about or drool over pictures from the best backpacking routes in our fine state!   Put on your comfy jammies, grab a beverage and snack, and join us from 7 to 8:30 for slides, route info and details on how to plan your own trip!

First, Eileen Miller will be back with another gorgeous slide show plus route details and logistics suggestions for from the Chelan Summit trail, a 38 mile high altitude ridgetop trail between Lake Chelan drainage and the Methow River valley - a long and challenging hike but one packed with flower filled meadows, rugged peaks, high alpine lakes, golden larches and the North Cascades at your door step.   Then Cheryl Talbert will bring you on a photo journey with maps and logistics information about a three-day loop in a gorgeous section of the Glacier Peak Wilderness starting from the North Fork Sauk river trailhead, climbing to the PCT at White Pass, and winding south with glorious views of this shy volcano before crossing to a lovely secluded lake basin and then back to the North Fork Sauk along a ridge with panoramic views of the Monte Cristo peaks.

Beginning two days before the event we will email the instructions and link to join the zoom call.
