Ptarmigan Ridge — Saturday, Jul. 29, 2023

North Cascades > Pasayten

I day hiked Ptarmigan Ridge from Artist Point.  It was a cool and misty day without a lot of distance views.  The snow is melting but snowfields are still present on the trail, especially after the first mile out of Artist Point.  It was a lot of fun with micro spikes, hiking poles, and an ice axe for some of the more challenging spots.  I saw a Ptarmigan and a Marmot on this hike.  For more information, check out the video below.
