Spider Meadow and Phelps Basin, Upper Lyman Lake & Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Section K - Stevens Pass to Rainy Pass — Friday, Sep. 13, 2013

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - East

Two of us hiked thirty miles over Spider Gap, past Lyman Lakes, over Cloudy Pass, then along the Pacific Crest Trail through Sitting Bull Basin and along Agnes Creek to Stehekin, WA. We had three days of great late summer/early fall weather, ate our fill of blueberries and met more than a handful of PCT through-hikers. Spider Gap is a walk at this time of year, but an icy one. Bring a walking pole. Yaktraks add an extra level of safety if you have them. The trails are in excellent condition. There are a couple of downed trees on the PCT between Sitting Bull Basin and the Stehekin Road--nothing to slow you down or worry about.
