Opis: IG: @radishuprooted Washington's Alpine Lakes Wilderness within the Mt. Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest, is a rugged gem of the Cascades. Brimming with turquoise lakes, jagged granite peaks, crevassed glaciers, and moss-covered fir trees--this wilderness is the picture of the PNW mountain rainforest. Located near Steven's Pass, The High Route is a 35 mile loop encircling the Bald and Silver Eagle Peak massif, offering stunning views of the region's giant volcanoes such as Glacier Peak, and distant glimpses of The North Cascades. The catch, of course, is that it is a ROUTE, not a TRAIL. This means a good section of it is completely off-trail route-finding across steep scree fields & dense bushwhacking. But that's what makes this route so incredible and remote!
