Half the trail is a chill forest walk/climb with a few trees down. On a clear day you can see tons of peaks in the Northern Cascades and sometimes even Mount Rainier.

It sure was a special place!

[@CraigKoppel]

This looks like a very jagged hike with lots of loose rocks. Cool views at the summit. 👍15

[@SavvyExploring]

The pass sure was but the summit was actually pretty solid compared to many around here 😅

[@SavvyExploring]

Thanks so much! I checked out your channel :-)

[@machado6377]
