Please e-mail us if you have trail conditions to report.Ĭascade River Road is closed at MP 20 (Eldorado trailhead). The trail conditions listed in the table below represent the last known status, but please note that conditions can change. Backcounty permits are required for all overnight trips in the park. If you are planning a trip to the wilderness, be sure to check the weather forecast, snow level, and driving conditions beforehand, and leave a detailed itinerary with a friend or family member, including the date and time you plan to exit the backcountry. The Wilderness Information Center is open seven days a week, including holidays, from 7am to 4pm through the beginning of October. Remember that a fed bear is a dead bear and wildlife interactions can become dangerous quickly when humans get too close. The native animals of North Cascades can use your help in staying wild by practicing proper food storage, not cooking in your campsite, always keeping your backpacks within arms reach, and staying 75 yards away from carnivors (bears, fox, etc.) and 25 yards away from all other wildlife. Please be gentle to the delicate vegetation just below the snow surface and avoid stepping on this growth when transitioning form snow to clear trail. Aside from navigating in snow covered sections of trails, other travel hazards will include snow bridges and downed trees just under the snow surface. Our Wilderness Rangers are reporting patchy snow starting around 5500' and full coverage above 6500' in some shaded and northern aspects. If you think that you can't cross a creek safely, turn around! Many higher elevation campsites are still snow covered, so be prepared with proper equipment. Water levels can fluctuate throughout the day. This means high stream flows, challenging creek crossings, and a heightened risk for flooding and washouts.
AndersonĪs summer time temperatures reach North Cascades National Park, passes are starting to melt out and huckleberries are ripening trailside, however spring-like conditions still exist in the alpine.
Keep 25 yards between humans and animals (bears 75 yards).
