Cottonwood Camp
will be the base for our September Base Camps. From here, you will
have easy access to many glorious spots: spectacular Horseshoe Basin,
Pelton Basin, glorious Cascade Pass and the hard earned but worthwhile
trip into Trapper Lake.
From Bridge Creek Camp you have the choices of Goode Ridge, an old
fire lookout with stunning views ( 5 miles and about 5000’ elevation
gain), or Park Creek Pass, another beautiful spot. We’ll have a
relaxed afternoon getting settled into camp.
There is a dandy hike 5miles up to Buckner Meadows with views of grandiose
Buckner Mountain and on up to Park Creek Pass. Goode Ridge is a 5 mile,
5000 foot climb to one of the prettiest old look-outs in the Cascades.
Flat Creek is an easy 4 mile hike from camp. The North Fork of Bridge
Creek is meandering eight miles to a big basin at the base of Mt Logan
with its big glacier.
