We hiked the Chelan Summit Trail from Angle's Staircase to Purple Pass and down to Stehekin over 4 days. The trails are generally in good shape, except for three sections.
* Below 6500 ft in Prince Creek
* The traverse between Courtney and Gray
* North Fork Fish Creek
These three sections have considerable blow downs, maybe a few dozen per mile. Nothing impossible to get through, but definitely annoying.
Purple Pass is a little overgrown and has some blowdowns, but is not too bad.
Lots of running water, and lots of mosquitoes.
It was 42 miles and 11k ft gain.
