White Chuck Bench — Monday, Aug. 26, 2002

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Aug 27,2002 White Chuck River trail to Glacier Red Pass/White Pass via Glacier Peak Meadows. Trail is fine and bypass of washed out Kennedy Creek Bridge nicely signed and flagged through 1/2 mile meander on a gravel bar. Helicopter was transporting crew and materials for rebuild of trail and bridge at Kennedy Creek. BUILD IT STURDY, BOYS ! Bugs manageable. Dogs everywhere. Responsible owners needed. The only wildlife we saw outside of the ubiquitous marmot, was a deer crashing through our camp at dusk, followed by a black lab about fifteeen seconds later.
