Tierra and I briefly eluded Amaya's tyrannical grip (HA!) and went up to Hannegan Pass, the gateway to the Pickett Range, and the remote northern section of the North Cascades National Park.
Vaccinium, Huckleberry leaves turn bright red in September, as Nooksack Ridge frames Mt. Baker.
Mt. Ruth, from Hannegan Peak. We put in a camp along the ridge line on the left leading up to Ruth.
T climbing up to the summit of Ruth, with the Chilliwack River and Mt. Redoubt in the distance.
Looking down into Nooksack Cirque, Mt. Shuksan in all its majesty.
Looking Southeast from Mt. Ruth, Glacier Peak on the left in the far distance.
Mount Challenger and the Picketts from Mt. Ruth.
Mt. Shuksan and Nooksack ridge at sunset.
Here is our humble little home.
On Saturday, just before we departed, we encountered a long line of well organized, chatty climbers hiking up to the mountain. They look like a string of ants going up the side of Ruth. The trail to Hannegan Pass was totally packed with weekend social activity. Time to check back in with Amaya!
