14 miles of hiking • 5000' elevation gain •
Saturday was a perfect day for this climb. It was sunny with a nice cool breeze at our backs. The trail was dry and bug free. We hit all 4 lakes on the way up and had some incredible views high up on the ridge. We had the summit of Cashmere in our sights and could have pressed on, but it would have been an additional (4) hours to our trip and we had a turn around time of 3:00 p.m. Next time we will plan to drive up the night before and get an earlier start. Still haven't hit a WA 100 peak this year. I am hoping that will change in the coming months !!!!
