Adam and Ruthie Laroche of Franklin, Vermont, spent ten days in August hiking and backpacking in Washington State's northernmost wilderness, the North Cascades. Hiking to Lewis Lake from the High Pass below Mount Larrabee, they experienced a dreamscape overnight at Yellow Aster Butte, calving glaciers at ice-rimmed Lake Ann, and the stunning beauty of Mount Baker's Ptarmigan Ridge. Join Adam and Ruthie as they answer questions about backpacking permits, fire cab overnights (yes, if you're lucky, you can sleep on a summit), and how to navigate those hair-raising forest service roads.
