Before You Go

A backcountry permit is required to camp overnight in the North Cascades National Park Complex (incl. Ross Lake National Rec Area and Lake Chelan National Rec Area). They are $10 per person plus a $6 non-refundable reservation fee. Permits must be picked up at the Wilderness Information Center in Marblemount. See the National Park Service website for more details on permits.

WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

Drive Hwy 20 to the little town of Marblemount. Keep going straight when 20 turns left and you will be on Cascade River Road. Drive the 19 miles until you reach a large parking lot on the right side of the road.
