Yesterday, Julie, Gail, Kevin and I hiked up Cascade Pass. It is around 7 1/2 miles and 1800 ft elev gain and has to be one of the best hikes in Washington. The views are spectacular, even at the trail head. Lots of people on the trail, but nothing like it would have been on the weekend. We saw a marmot and a few chipmunks, mountains, glaciers, indian paintbrush, heather, and more. The hike is great in that it gains the elevation at a steady pace so no really steep sections. At the top, we had to negotiate a couple of snow sections but Kevin kicked in steps for us. It was a wonderful day in the northwest.
