Niche Question about North Cascades
So long story short, I went to North Cascades and absolutely loved it. The colors right now are nothing short of breathtaking and the wildlife was surprisingly abundant. It felt like a hiking version of Yellowstone lol
Anyway, the question is the following: I spent two days at the park. One day I did Cascade Pass and Sahale Arm. On the second I did the Maple Pass loop (which barely makes it to the park, but I digress). I left and am chilling in Everett rn to go to Rainier next, but I'm contemplating on returning to do the Bridge Creek Trail. For those who have done the PCT portion of the park, is it worth the trip back? I have no issues going back if it's as stunning as Cascade Pass, but given how isolated that side of the park is it's hard to gauge an opinion. So far I have understood it's pretty exposed for most of the trail and, again, it's a very lonely trail
Having that said, if you were in my position, would you do it? Say both time and money aren't an issue, because they kind of aren't lol I just really, really liked the Cascade Pass trail and I want to see that side of the country one more time before I leave home lol
Thankies if anyone answers! 🫰
