A PNW SECRET IN THE ALPINE LAKES WILDERNESS ~ SUMMITING CASHMERE MOUNTAIN VIA LAKE VICTORIA

Описание: If you're looking to get away from the hoards of people in the nearby Enchantments area look no further than the hike and climb up to Lake Victoria and Cashmere Mountain. Lake Victoria has that Colchuck Lake look and feel. Chances are good there will not be a single person at Lake Victoria. Lake Victoria is one of the best unknown alpine lakes near Leavenworth Washington. By extension, that makes Cashmere Mountain one of the best unknown mountains near Leavenworth as well. Tucked in a tiny corner of Alpine Lakes Wilderness near Leavenworth Washington is Lake Victoria and Cashmere Mountain. There is a faint trail that leads up towards Lake Victoria from Johnny Creek Campground at Icicle Creek. Route finding is a must in order to find this pristine alpine lake. From Icicle Creek, Lake Victoria is just 3 miles up but well over 3,000 feet of elevation gain. Continue up the couloir on the other side of Lake Victoria in order to reach the summit block of Cashmere Mountain. Above the couloir and waterfall is a beautiful basin. This is a perfect area to camp for a couple days to explore the entire Cashmere Mountain massif. Bring your patients as well for this all day adventure in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness as there is some decent bushwhacking along the way.
