The Picketts Traverse
July 16, 2012 - July 21, 2012
This sub-range of the North Cascades is considered the most rugged terrain in the lower 48.
Local mountaineers talk about the Pickets Range, but very few ever really go there. It is truly one of the remaining alpine mountain wildlands in our country.
Be prepared for strenuous days in exposed terrain. The traverse consists mostly of light mountaineering, but the participants should be in excellent physical shape. We are guiding this wild traverse in a north to south direction from Hannegan Pass to New Halem.
