Trip Report

Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) Section K - Stevens Pass to Rainy Pass, North Fork Sauk River — Monday, Jul. 27, 2020

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - East

Quick report just to fill in details on snow.

We went up the N Sauk River on Thursday night after work, staying at Mackinaw.  We took it slow and easy from there, staying Friday at Lake Sally Ann, Saturday at Pear Lake, and Sunday at Lake Janus.

The PCT between White Pass and Stevens Pass has intermittent snow but nothing difficult.  We had microspikes but never used them.  Lake Sally Ann is partly frozen and has a lot of snow, limiting camp sites.

Bugs were worst at Lake Janus but were nowhere near the worst I've ever seen.

That's it.  Short and sweet.  In 5 weeks we go back to complete Section K between Rainy Pass and White Pass.
