Cascade Pass Trail
Cascade Pass
When you reach the pass, the grand view, above, awaits. Usually a ranger is present to answer questions about the area and talk about the park in general. The valley below is a typical U shaped glacial valley. Pelton Peak is the farther mountain with Yawning Glacier on its shoulder. Magic Mountain is the closer peak. Cascade Pass trail continues down the valley ( see map ). Eventually the trail traverses a ridge, out of Pelton Basin, right, and follows the Stehekin River southeast. From here on Monkey Flowers are everywhere.
