Cascade Pass, Stehekin River Trail & Horseshoe Basin (Stehekin) — Monday, Aug. 10, 2020

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

Ran/hiked from Cascade Pass to High Bridge in Stehekin with a detour to Horseshoe Basin. Total mileage 23.8, total time 6 hrs 50 min. Trail up to Cascade Pass was in great shape, switchbacks make for a nice run. Horseshoe Basin was beautiful, but buggy. Easy water crossings with ample opportunities to filter water after Horseshoe Basin. There is a great break/water stop just before Bridge Creek with a nice swimming hole. It was a warm day, and the last half of the trail gets pretty hot and dusty. We met up with family at High Bridge, but you could also take the shuttle from High Bridge into Stehekin.
