Here is an annotated Google Earth map with a rough overlay of the route that Colin and I took through the Northern Pickets from Hannegan Pass Trailhead to Ross Dam Trailhead. The route essentially crosses the north complex of North Cascades National Park over 47+ miles and features nearly 14,000 feet of elevation gain. Click the image for an enlarged version.
Such a beautiful, rugged, remote area. I’d love to spend a week kayaking/camping along the shores of Ross lake, hitting the peaks/trails on both the West & East side of the Lake.
