The weather was gorgeous and we spent a wonderful day in the North Cascades. Started around 9:30 AM. The trail to Cascade Pass was snow free till just before the pass, where we encountered a patch that posed no problems. We reached the pass around 12, had our lunch there (interupted by a mule deer) and set for Sahale Arm shortly before 1 PM. On the way we encountered a couple more snow patches, agian, no sweat even for sneaker-wearing people like us. We did not go all the way to the camps, but instead ended up resting on Sahale Arm at elevation around 6500 and soaking in the scenary. People descending from the camps told us the night was warm, 55 Fahrenheit. We started going down around 4 PM. On the way back we saw a few marmots and the deer was still at the pass, munching on some foliage. We reached the parking lot at 7 PM
