Can anyone tell me the trailhead for Mt. Buckner (Boston Basin) and general beta for a Class 3 scramble to Buckner summit? Distance and gain from the TH? Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. Anyone with suggestions as to camping or, especially, places to fish within 20 miles of the Cascade Pass trailhead?

OK--you folks are fantastic. You have shot to hell our plan to do MSH--but in a good way, I think. Question--so, we are going to head to the North Cascades looks like. We have some people in our party who want to fish, and some who want to hike (Cascade Pass/Sahale Arm, among others) and we want to camp. Can anyone suggest where we could camp (car or short--i.e., 3 miles or less--hike to camp) and where fishing could be had in that area? Could we build a fire? Thanks for your help putting together this dream trip!

Thanks for all the beta--this is very helpful. At the risk of uttering blasphemy, let me ask you this: Would these hikes be more rewarding--more scenic bang for the buck--than MSH? I realize MSH is iconic, etc., but the more I research, the more I like the idea of doing some other stuff. For example, an overnight trip into the Enchantments (is this unrealistic because I can't get a permit?). What say you?

These are in the Enchantment Basin? Would I get these if I tried Little Annapurna?

Thanks a bunch. Have to say I am still leaning toward Cascade/Sahale, but want to explore options. I am learning the area a bit, too, which is exciting. Any comment as to the expected weather Sept. 9-12, generally? Cascades are kind of known for erratic weather, I understand?

OK--doing some research I came up with these potentially--please comment: Hidden Lake Lookout Goat Mountain Ptarmigan Ridge Trail Hannegan Peak Little Annapurna Alta Mountain High Divide Trail on the Olympic Peninsula

Many thanks--that was quick! I am going to go look these up in my books/maps. Any others of course I will look up as well--half the fun is planning!

I will be in you all's neck of the woods Sept 9-12. Have permits for MSH on the 10th, and am looking for a good hike anywhere in the Cascades for the 11th. Have all day. Just got done doing 10 days in the Sierras a week ago, and would like to hike something nice and uppy, with great views. Was thinking of something no more than say 12-14 miles, 4000 gain, and Class 3 or less--we don't want to fool with ropes. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
