Cutthroat Pass via the Pacific Crest Trail — Friday, Sep. 12, 2003

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

A far better way to celebrate our 27th anniversary than the 25th... Cool and moist, kinda spitting rain but not enough to 'dampen' our spirits. Ran into the dedicated volunteers of the wta at porcupine creek as they were putting the finishing touches on a magnificent log bridge. We were the FIRST hikers to use it for its intended purpose!! Smooth, easy trail...knocked off the five miles in about 2.5 hours including lunch stop. Marvelous vistas at the top. Cloud-shrouded peaks surrounding us and a good picture of the lake 1900 feet below. A highly recommended walk!!
