Description

Added by Scott Kranz

Capture a photo of one of the Cascade’s most popular climbing spots. And enjoy the sites while you drive up Hwy 20.

Liberty Bell is just one mile south of Washington Pass. This peak is part of a group of spires, which include North and South Early Winters Spires, Concord Tower, and Lexington Tower.

If you’ve decided to take in the viewpoints driving Hwy 20 through the park, be sure to check out Diablo Lake as well.

If you’re up for being more active and moving around, check out Trappers Peak / Thornton Lake

I happened to time it so that the sun was rising from behind the mountains as I walked the short loop at Washington Pass Overlook. Liberty Bell had a beautiful glow, and I had the view all to myself!

This has to be one of the most scenic highways in the state. You owe it to yourself to at least make the drive and to soak on the views from the road. Be extra careful on the pull-outs along the highway…cars can come through this area pretty fast.

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...

Climb South Early Winters Spire - South Arete

From the Blue Lake Trailhead, hike approximately 1.5 miles to an obvious clearing with subsidiary trails that depart uphill and right at a stream crossing. These trails will eventually lead up granite slabs and converge into a main trail. Follow the cairns or aim generally for the southern-most spire (the one to the right before the saddle). After about 2k feet of gain, you should be at level w...

Climb to the Summit of Liberty Bell via the Beckey Route (5.6)

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...

Camp at Snowy Lakes

Take Hwy 20 to Rainy Pass, and park at the trailhead on the east side of the highway. Begin on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), heading towards Cutthroat Pass.The trail winds it's way towards the pass at a gentle grade over 5 miles. As the trail ascends, you'll leave the forest behind as you enter the alpine. If 11 miles a day is too long, you can extend the trip by staying at one of several camp...
