Stehekin is open and weather is going to be fine!

Think I will go over through Cascade pass and enjoy the scenery.

Anyone else?

Tough duty, but I guess someone has to do it.

It should be nice, I really like Stehekin. I'd love to go but my plane is still missing a few parts (like a propeller, wings, an engine and wheels). Maybe next month.

Stehekin was gorgeous yesterday !

Here are some pics.

Approaching Cascade Pass from Marblemount direction:

If you follow the Cascade River to the South from Marblemount and take the second drainage to the left it will take you over the 5400 ft. Cascade pass by Trapper Lake. Then easy 500 fpm descent into Stehekin.

Did the straight in approach instead of the "slot" approach due to tailwind.

Drift camera makes landing look better than it was.

Holy cow that looked cool!

I was in Joseph yesterday. Met Wup.

Is that Lake Chelan in the distance?

Are we blessed to live in the Northwest or WHAT?
