Cascade Pass — Sunday, Aug. 17, 2025

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

Lovely hike! It was pretty cloudy and the top of the mountains were covered, but I still thought it was beautiful. Definitely want to come back on a clear day though!

The road into the hike is gravel, and is very bumpy. It would be beneficial to have a car with decent clearance. 

We started around 3 pm on Sunday, and many people were leaving at that point. The trail did not feel overwhelmingly busy. The weather was pretty temperate during the majority of the hike, but when we left the trees and got to the more exposed path, it just got freezing. Definitely bring a windbreaker!

I definitely want to come back with more time to do the sahale arm, I hear it's stunning!

We finished in about 4 hours.
