Sourdough Creek — Saturday, May. 5, 2018

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Sourdough Creek Fall

  What a magnificent day for a hike.  Crossover Diablo Dam and make a right and park at The North Cascades Environmental Learning Center. Plenty of free parking with no pass requirement. Driving over Diablo Dam was an experience in itself. The trail was in great condition. Just remember to start out on the Diablo Lake Trail and in about 1/4 mile it will intersect with The Sourdough Creek Trail. The trail has some nice views of Paul Bunyan's Stump and the rest of the snow capped mountains.

 The trail ends at the waterfall and this hike is well worth checking out. I had the fall to myself for over an hour and I only saw one other couple on the trail. The creek and waterfall are raging as you can see from my video and pictures below. Nice low level hike if you are waiting for the snow to melt off the mountains. Checkout my video link below of this hike and you can also checkout other videos I have done of other trail hikes in Washington on my Vimeo Channel Link below.

As always get out and see this beautiful state and enjoy your hiking?

Take Care,

Mike
