	North Cascades National Park (National Park Service)
		Characterized by rugged beauty, this steep mountain range is filled with jagged peaks, deep valleys, cascading waterfalls and glaciers.
		North Cascades National Park Service Complex contains the heart of this mountainous region in three park units which are all managed as one and include North Cascades National Park, Ross Lake and Lake Chelan National Recreation Areas.
		Not only to an astounding diversity of plants and animals, it was the home to Native Americans and a trade gateway between the Plateau tribes to the east and the Coast Salish tribes to the west for over 8,000 years.

	North Cascade Glaciers
		Annual longitudinal profiles on nine glaciers North Cascade glaciers confirm this volume change indicating a loss of -5.7 to -6.3 m in thickness (5.0-5.6 m w.e) between 1984 and 2002, agreeing well with the cumulative mean annual balance of -5.52 m w.e for that period.
		In the North Cascades a thickness of 50 feet on steep slopes, and 100 feet on shallow slopes is necessary to initiate movement.
		Observations by the USGS at South Cascade Glacier indicate that since the mid-1950s, South Cascade Glacier’s cumulative mass balance was -25m, mean annual balance from 1956-1975 averaged -0.15 m/a, and from 1976-2003 averaged -1.00 m.

		Near and east of the Cascade passes, occasional flurries or light snow from the recently persistent low clouds Thursday morning should give way to more general light snow in all areas later Thursday afternoon and evening, while light freezing rain is likely at lower elevations on the west approaches to the passes.
		As warm air mixes downward and the cold easterly flow becomes shallower through the passes Thursday night, freezing rain should spread toward the passes, with a mix of snow, freezing rain and rain likely as pass winds shift to weak westerly around midnight or early Friday morning.

	North Cascades National Park
		Unlike most sections of the Southern Cascade mountains, which are volcanic and sedimentary in origin, the Northern Cascades are granitic and metamorphic in nature, formed by the uplift resulting from the collision of plates of the earth's crust.
		Actually, the Cascade peaks in the park act as a "rain shield" and create a large difference between the amount of rain received in the western portion of the park (about 110 inches per year) and in the east (35 inches per year).
		In 1972 the North Cascades Highway (Highway 20), which runs through the Ross Lake National Recreation area, was opened, providing outstanding vistas of Cascade peaks, Ross and Diablo lakes, and the Skagit River.

	ClimbingWashington.com - Books : Climbing Washington's Summits Sahale Peak
		Sahale is a popular climb, largely because of its relatively easy access compared to other Cascade Pass area summits, and also because of its central location and views.
		Although Sahale Peak is regarded by many climbers as an easy climb, the final rock scramble to the summit is fairly rugged and exposed, with a few moves that may cause even experienced climbers a moment’s pause.
		The last bit of the road is paved, a big improvement over the rough road that used to force many hikers and climbers to park much lower hike to the trailhead.

		(Cascade Alpine Guide, Vol 2 says this was actually Mt Misch.) The article describes the high country approach from Green Mountain, used on later traverses of the area.
		The article is important both as background on the exploration of important Cascade regions and for glimpses of the skiing activity of the Ptarmigans themselves.

		That moronic trail to Cascade Pass, the Ingalls/Longs Pass trail, and the PCT from Snoqualmie Pass to Kendall Pass are three examples of some idiot(s) with surveying tape getting way, way out of control.
		The avalanche debris: Given that the route into BB is in the "cross-country zone" classification the Park will not automatically clear this debris, as it would have if that avalanche had hit the nearby Cascade Pass trail (in the maintained constructed trail classification).
		Yes, that stoopid trail is more than a little annoying, but it really doesn't take all THAT much longer than the shortcut and the Cascade Pass area is a high use area that I for one am glad to see them manage with an eye toward containing impact.

		To start the traverse, from the pass took the trail in the direction opposite of the civilized trail.
		We were passed on the snowfield (since Joan was so slow) by a couple of rather experienced looking climber/traverser guys, probably in their mid to late 40's, we speculated.

		Reaching the Cascade summit, the party paused only to look down onto the new country before them, then began their descent along Bridge creek and by way of the Stehekin to the head of Lake Chelan.
		When their route was blocked by a canyon, they made a "Jacob's ladder" by felling a tall tree against the digs and stripping off surplus branches to form steps for a means of scrambling to the top.
		At the mouth of the Cascade they found an old Indian and his squaw living in a natural clearing in the woods.

		Paved for the first seven miles, the road continues another 15 miles (well-maintained gravel) to a parking lot at the base of the trail over Cascade Pass.
		In contrast to the wide straight pavement and distant views afforded from the present North Cascades Highway, this "back door" entrance into the National Park presents a more intimate, winding road arched over by trees with occasional glimpses of the Cascade River rapids below.
		This is the route the native tribes, packers and pioneers traveled over to Stehekin (translated from native dialect: "the way through"), and is a great way to gain some insight into what that arduous trip might have been like at the turn of the previous century.
