Ptarmigan Traverse - Backpacking the Heart of the North Cascades

Experience the Ptarmigan Traverse, this 35 mile route weaves through high glaciated passes of stunning beauty in the North Cascades of Washington. We took 5 days to complete the route and remains one of my favorite mountain zones in the lower 48.
