Sure you have to cross ski slopes and a powerline swath, not exactly wild country. But views are good and at the end of the disturbances is true wilderness. You'll get to explore a quiet little tarn and a big sparkling lake set in a cirque at the head of the Icicle Creek valley. And most of the way is along the Pacific Crest Trail, allowing you to sample one of the most famous long-distance hiking trails in the country.
