Windy Creek, Windy Peak — Sunday, Sep. 10, 2023

North Cascades > Pasayten
Windy Peak comes into view

The area closure due to the Crater Creek Fire ended on Sept 7 so I decided to hike Windy Peak via the shorter Windy Creek Trail. The route is through an old burn and follows the creek making several crossings along the way. Windy Creek gently ascends the valley until arriving to a grandstand position in the eastern Pasayten country. 

The trail is in good condition with only a few blowdowns. 

10.2 miles RT and 2746' gain.
