Oh, yes. The tarns above Taocrevo are magnificent. There's a certain sweet bench above Nimakcihc complete with a little stream that was just magical. Summit of Hannegan peak. Just off the PCT near Mica Lake there's a spur trail that leads to your own private little meadow and a cool view of Glacier Pk. Lime Ridge. Larch Knob above Spider Meadow is just awesome. Great view and your own private waterfall. Tapto Lakes - the view of Whatcom Peak will blow your socks off.

Lone Tree Pass is nice also. Another vote for Sahale Arm at the base of the Sahale Glacier also.

Absolutely. Last time there, I had to shag a bear away from my food-filled tent. The site was beside a copse of firs that I'm pretty sure was the location of Crisler's High Camp. Here's a picture of that venerable mountain hemlock:

Coolest place that I've camped in the Cascades was the very top of Mt Baker. We dug a tent platform into the lee side of the summit knob and put up an ice block wall to block the wind. By morning the wall had mostly evaporated. Had to be careful going out at night as that drop off the NE face is a long way down! Got to watch both sunrise and sunset from the very top. Had the whole place to ourselves all afernoon and evening. Met the first climbing party of the morning on the plateau as we were headed down.

high campgrounds - Deer Park in the Olympics ...
RE: high campgrounds - Deer Park in the Olympics ... This deserves a mention. Being accessible with an unpaved road, it is an opportunity available to most.

Nice picture Shack. Do you suppose it gets windy there at times? When we were there we didn't see any bears but were visited by a couple of goats.

How difficult would it be to summit Glacier Peak from Indigo Lake? Trying to see if I can hike Cady Ridge to Glacier Peak to Lime Ridge on down...

I should be doing homework
