This was part of a multi-day solo trip through the North Cascades.
Check out the full report here.
War Creek Trail- This is a really great trail going through multiple burns with consistent elevation gain over 9ish miles from 1500-6600. All ending at Juanita Lake and great views. Awesome as a trail run. Hit is late September/Early October for great Larch colors.
Two big things for this trail to be mindful of.
Water- Yes there is the War Creek, but the trail never crosses it. Mostly it's 30-40 yards away. Can get to it with a small bushwhack. The first easy water was mile 6/7.
Tree fall- There is some significant burn/tree fall at mile 7/8. Trail is still visible, but just be mindful and keep your bearings. Definitely took some energy to get up/over/around.
Highly recommend this trail. I then dropped down into Stehekin as the ender for the trip. Could easily do this as a 2-3 night out and back coming from the east side.
