I severely miss living beside the North Cascades. For 12 years i hiked there lots. Love the feeling of having it all to yourself. Always worked weekends so i could hike midweek

Highly recommend visiting the North Cascades during the fall and hiking Maple Pass loop! The larches turn colour and the views from the trail are just incredible.

I have tire pressure sensor fault in my vehicle as well. It means the instruments to measure tire pressure have a problem. Great video as always!

Thanks Steve. Stoked you got to experience the park, it's phenomenal.

This was cool. I’m from Texas and I hiked this same trail last fall. It was fun recognizing the shots you utilized in this video.

@@riseandalpine The cold weather had not yet set in, so the colors were not as vibrant as you might expect. And yes, very different. I had never thought of hiking the Cascades before until my son mentioned it. I must say, it is one of the most lovely places I've been.

@riseandalpine You should put the Enchantment Lakes on your list as well. It's incredible up there.

Try the North Cascades in the winter... Most of it is pretty inaccessible without heli assistance but it's all pretty amazing terrain

I was thinking about how sick it would be in winter the entire time! Have you done it before? Any recommendations on good lines to ski?

I apologize if you mentioned it in the video but how long did it take yall to hike up to the glacier and go back down? Looked like yall did it within really good time! Awesome legs.

I can't 100% remember but I think it took us between 5-6 hours with a decently long stop for lunch and lots of filmin.

Pretty sweet to be able to eat all that yummy food: 5 bags of chips and pretzels ect.. and still be in great shape. Must be nice!

The lake named Diablo Lake and is fed by glaciers on Pyramid Peak and Colonial Peak.

Thanks for the great video. It really helps. How's the gravel road condition to the trailhead? Is it suitable for the regular 2wd suv?

Hey! It is absolutely no problem for a 2wd SUV. Even saw a couple honda accords up there totally fine, just driving a bit slower.

Come back to Washington Pass this winter and ski it!
