Access:
Drive the North Cascades Highway to the Bridge Creek Trailhead (2 miles east of Rainy Pass; 3 miles west of Washington Pass). The trailhead starts at approx. 4,600 ft but don’t let that fool you. You’re going to be dropping nearly 2,000 feet before you start going up again. Hike the Bridge Creek Trail southward then westward for seven miles to where it crosses over Bridge Creek (c. 2,550 ft). The North Fork Trail junctions off here and proceeds northward.
Leave It Better than You Found It. This should be every user’s goal. Pick up trash left by others, pull noxious weeds along your route, throw branches over unwanted spur trails, etc.
