Join one of the most breathtaking hikes in the North Cascades!
We’ll start at the Cascade Pass trailhead and make our way up through forested switchbacks to reach the pass, a perfect spot for views of peaks and glaciers. From there, we’ll continue up the Sahale Arm, a ridgeline to open meadows, alpine lakes, and panoramic mountain views in every direction.
This trip is perfect for youth who love photography and nature.
TBD closer to date. Given how incredibly popular this hike is for its views, we’ll plan to leave early from the Program Center to beat the crowds and make the most of the day.
