This is one of my big backpacking trips of 2013, a 5-day trip in the southern part of North Cascades National Park. Although some loops were possible, the early date in mid-July for a trip this area meant that north-facing slopes would still have a lot of snow. So I decided on an out-and-back trip along Bridge Creek to Park Creek and up to Park Creek Pass. For those who know the area, my camps were at Grizzly Creek, 2 nights at Flat Creek, and the last at North Fork.
 Bridge Creek The hike along Bridge Creek was most of my first and last day of hiking and a bit of the second. |
 North Fork Bridge Creek I camped here the first night and dayhiked up above the camp the second morning. |
 Stehekin Road and Flat Creek Camp I camped at Flat Creek camp for two nights, around my dayhike up to Park Creek Pass. |
 Park Creek Pass The central goal of this trip, my dayhike up to Park Creek Pass was about 17 miles round-trip with a 3800 foot gain. |
