Hike Tatie Peak and Grasshopper Pass
Direction are from Mazama, WA. From Mazama drive west on the Lost River Road for approximately 19 miles to Hart's Pass. Note that the pavement ends around 7 miles from Mazama and the road becomes FS RD 54. The drive up to Hart's Pass is fairly exposed in one spot and has unnerved several of my hiking companions. Follow the posted speed limit and keep your eyes on the road and you won't have ...
Hike to Easy Pass
If you're looking for a beautiful fall hike with breathtaking views and acres of golden larches, this is it. This trail provides a good workout along with miles of photogenic scenery, including glacier views at the top, making the climb well worth the effort. Easy Pass is also (arguably) one of the best lunch spots in all of the North Cascades.
You will want to plan this hike for an early morn...
Hike to Cutthroat Pass
Looking for a distinctive high-country hike just east of the pass? Cutthroat Pass is a hearty day hike perfect for gaining elevation and views with every step. It's even more dynamic as a point-to-point, exiting via the Pacific Crest Trail if you have two vehicles. Also great for a one-night backpacking trip, with possible extension for 2+ nights by heading north on the PCT.For the basic out-an...

Known for cross-country skiing in the winter and hiking and climbing in the summer. Roughly 3 miles out of to...
Hike to the Goat Peak Lookout
With fall coming quickly, that means larch fever. Views of the North Cascades, Methow Valley, and fall colors all at 7000 feet, doing the short hike of just over 2 miles up to the Goat Peak Lookout will not disappoint.The hike begins in a beautiful forest you'd expect too see at 5500 feet. The alpine landscape will keep you occupied through the thick and thin of this short hike. Although this h...
Ski Washington Pass
Because the North Cascades highway usually closes from November to May due to heavy snow and huge slides that bury the road, few people expend the energy to get there, meaning it's one of the only places where fresh tracks are almost guaranteed through the winter and early spring.To start, you'll need to snowmobile in to the pass. Approach either from the West where the road closes near Ross La...
