Sept 24th
Up early and it was cold as we got ready in the shady side of the pass. The morning light was brilliant on the peaks. A clear but cool day spoke of Indian summer, a glorious time in the Cascades. We finally had the scenery we have been expecting. Tall, jagged peaks of granite with snow pack and glaciers. Rugged and remote mountains.
Mostly a traverse to the next 2 passes and then we dropped into the Methow River valley. Work crew. Another owl. Fall colors. Climbed up the bushy creek side basin to Glacier pass. Camp. 16.3 miles Fire. Dad was slow but steady and seemed determined to do these miles. We managed to get to the pass and camp by 6pm
