Cutthroat Pass via the Pacific Crest Trail — Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

The larches are about 50% there - should be great next weekend! It was still beautiful today. The smoke was coming in toward the end of the afternoon and felt like about “moderate” AQI, though the air quality was great the rest of the day. I had looked at the AQI for Stehekin, which seemed pretty accurate, though maybe a little worse at the trailhead. It was a smoky drive as well from Seattle, worst at Diablo Lake.

Did you find this trip report helpful?

Thanks for the update on the larches! Do you think it would be better to backpack 10/7 weekend or 10/14 weekend? Thanks in advance!
