We completed a 4-day trip over Cascade Pass and down the Stehekin River to High Bridge.
Highlights and special considerations:
-Biting black flies were the worst I have ever seen! Densities of these flies decreased the further east we hiked.
-Beautiful scenery of course, at Cascade Pass, and all the way down to Cottonwood Camp in the Stehekin Valley. The section of trail east of Pelton Basin to Cottonwood was VERY brushy in places. Watch your step.
-Saw two black bears (one near Park Creek and the other, several miles north of High Bridge)
Plenty of solitude once you head east from Cascade Pass. Enjoy!
