North Fork Skykomish River, Dishpan Gap — Sunday, Nov. 1, 2015

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

Decided to hit the river trail since the views over the weekend were in rain clouds. Started off nice with a few sprinklers which got a little heavy with each passing hour. What did take us by surprise was all the NEW water crossings and scrambling off trail to find a crossing point. There were times as we continued, the trail itself was a small river. We must have had at least 6 water crossings/jumping before we reached the turn for Dishpan Saddle. We took the left for Dishpan Saddle and only got in a half mile before the snow started (nice surprise) but we never made it to the waterfall as another large water crossing a couple of miles in with no where to cross. Besides, we didn't need the snow covering our trail. All and all, a nice and very quiet hike, my gear kept me dry while my hiking partner wasn't so lucky!
