I run hot and cold with the North Cascades. When the weather is great, I love it. When its bad, I start to think of Wyoming or California instead. Other than Liberty Bell & Prussik Peak (76), I knew little or nothing about the place With a copy of the old Spring / Manning hiking guide I gave myself a couple of weeks for a good intro to the range. After that I moved up to Lake Louise to catch up with my girl friends parents who were doing a trans Canada rail trip. I got in a few hikes there, but the weather was mostly grey so I made the big move down to Utah hoping to warm up a bit and get some sun.
