Cady Ridge, Dishpan Gap, Kodak Peak & Lake Sally Ann — Saturday, Aug. 15, 2020

After work on Saturday, my fiance and I headed up the Little Wenatchee to check out Cady Ridge and the surrounding area. It was later in the evening by the time we started, and we only made it 5 miles in that night. As previously described, the trail is pretty monotonous for the first three miles. After that you begin to get glimpses of Wenatchee Ridge and Poe Mountain. The huckleberries were also very plentiful, so it may be wise to bring a Ziploc. If you are backpacking in, know that the number of camp spots along Cady Ridge are limited. There is a nice larger site at about 3.9 miles and we did not find the next site until about 6.25 miles in. Water is even more scarce along the ridge, until you hit the PCT. On Sunday morning, we stashed our gear at Lake Sally Ann and proceeded to day hike out to Kodak Peak. There are plenty of small streams along the PCT that would make for a good water source. The trail to Kodak peak is more of a community trail that heads up the eastern ridgeline. You will want to go to the junction where the PCT begins to head down towards Indian Pass and White Pass. This is a short detour that is well worth the effort. The weather could not have been more excellent, and the views of Glacier Peak were astounding. Expect to run into plenty of people, especially around Lake Sally Ann.
