Chewuch River Trail — Thursday, May. 18, 2017

North Cascades > Pasayten
Meadow Camp at 5.6 miles

The road is open to the trailhead, with a 12" deep ford of Kay Cr just before the trailhead. 

I hiked in 6.1 miles to Basin Cr and only encountered avalanche & rock debris at 0.9 miles with no snow after that.  There's plenty of water on the trail after 4 miles in the form of mud, lakelets, and streams.  Logs over the trail are a minor impediment to hikers - have to go off-trail to get around a few of them.  Stock will have difficulty. 

Chewuch Falls are roaring with the spring runoff, but the spring flowers are not blooming yet.

The meadow campsite at 5.6 miles is dry and usable.

Avalanche & Rock Debris at 0.9 miles
Chewuch Falls at 2.5 miles
Stream over Trail at 4.2 miles
