North Cascade ski touring with lookouts


Two buddies and I climbed up to Hidden Lake fire lookout, a few years ago, on our annual North Cascades Spring ski touring weekend.  It was kind of epic getting up into the place.  We had to dig a snow cave bivy the first night because we were whited-out, nighted-out and had left the tent in the car because we had planned for a cabin stay.  But once in the "alpine bedroom" we couldn't have been happier and had some good skiing down to Hidden Lake the next day.  You can check with the ranger at Marblemont R. S. for availability and info.

These guys made a nice video of that fire lookout and a couple more.
