Trip: Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness - NW Ridge of Reynolds, NW Ridge of Oval

 

Date: 7/17/2008

 

Trip Report:

On July 17th and 18th, Kevin and I headed over to the Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness for a bit of peak bagging and wildflower viewing. Both were pleasant scrambles with wonderful views of the arid East and the not-so-arid Cascades.
