Make your way alongside Ross Lake in the beautiful North Cascades and marvel at the the vivid blue-green water of the lake, the beautiful waterfalls and wildflowers, and the abundant wildlife that call this rugged landscape home. Unlike most trails in the North Cascades, our Ross Lake route keeps the trip beginner friendly with moderate inclines, short distances, and lots of time to explore, play, and experience the breathtaking gifts of the Skagit watershed.

Experience: No previous camping or backpacking experience necessary

Physical Challenge: Low, 1,800 feet of gentle elevation gain, 13 miles over four days, short daily distances (Trails with gentle slopes, short hills, and averaging less than 5 miles a day are considered “low difficulty,” but they may be hard work for students who are not athletic. We emphasize accessibility for beginning backpackers, moving as a team and supporting each other on the trail.)

Orientation
All our trips start with an orientation process during which our guides check participant’s gear, go over the schedule and itinerary for the trip, and help participants pack their backpacks. We complete this orientation regardless of experience level. During the orientation, all participants will have the option to borrow Sahale Outdoors gear, even if they brought their own backpack, sleeping bag, mess kit, etc. The orientation process usually takes 1-2 hours.

Day 1: Museum and Campground
On the first day, we will head to the area in which we will be hiking and visit a museum that highlights the Indigenous history of the land we will be on. Whenever possible, we visit and support museums that are managed by Native nations. After the museum visit, we camp at a front country campground near the trailhead. The first night, there will be access to a bathroom (sometimes with running water) and the vehicle.

Day 2-5: Backpacking
Our tentatively planned route is as follows, although campsite order may vary depending on the available permits for camping locations. The guides will lead the group at a beginner’s pace, with rests as needed.
Day 2: Backpack 3 miles to first camp
Day 3: 4 miles to next camp
Day 4: Rest day and exploration from camp
Day 5: 6 miles back to trailhead

Returning home
The last day of the trip will consist of hiking out to the vehicle and driving back to base. It’s difficult to predict the exact timeline, as group speed, route, campsite choice, and traffic are all factors. In general, we try to get back to our meet location in Federal Way around 4-5 PM.
