Returning toward Cascade Pass, Magic Mountain appears, under a
cloud, to the southwest, above. Yawning Glacier descends between
it and Pelton Peak, partially in the photo. Both peaks, and the
glacier, are visible from the top of the pass ( see previous page
). Below left is a view toward Cascade Pass just east of it. The
trail follows along the top of the talus area at the right in the
image. Indian Paintbrush is another ubiquitous flower along the
east Cascade Pass trail. There are many opportunities to photograph
this flower as well as Tiger Lillies and Monkey Flowers here (see
next page).
I turned back to the pass at Cottonwood Campground. Continuing
southeast down the trail would take you to Lake Chelan. The trail
also crosses the Pacific Crest Trail which continues northeast to
the Canadian border.
