In July I spent 4 days solo trip hiking and backpacking in the North Cascades National Park in Washington. From an overnight on Sahale Glacier filled with mountain goats to numerous dips in the glacier fed lakes, this is a video full of stunning scenery and hard hikes.

***Park Update on Fires- as of August 12,2023 Sourdough Mountain is on fire and some of the park near Ross Lake and Sourdough are closed. Check the park website for updates.

  • Best Sunset on a mountain? Go! Sahale Glacier was #2 on my list, Number 1 was the sunset from El Teide in Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

    I am a native of the North Cascades. I've spent that last 50+ years hiking and backpacking the North Cascades National Park and surrounding wilderness areas. There really are no easy hikes here but they are all worth the effort. Very good video. You really captured the essence of the North Cross corridor hikes. If you are ever in this area again I would recommend the Mt Baker Wilderness. A myriad of hikes centered around the majestic Mt Baker. Again, wonderful video. Thanks so much.
  • @Chuck8541
    Love the 4K footage! All the wide cinematic shots are so crisp and clear! Side-gig idea, throw your scenic footage onto stock footage video sites, and occasionally get paid when people buy your video! Thanks for taking us along! :)
  • @radisson8627
    This is a great video Alice. I understand the effort and time it takes to edit footage, which in return makes it impossible for us viewers to critic your work... 😂 The views are stunning. I have been backpacking nearby many times, on the Canadian 🇨🇦 side, in Manning Provincial Park where exists an extensive network of trails that leads south of the border, including the PCT. I should make good use of my passport and head south. North Cascades would be ideal actually, simply for the lack of people visiting. Thanks for sharing 🥾😎🏔☯️🇨🇦🇺🇸🍔🍺🌻

    Wonderful landscape, exploring nature is always rewarding. Thank you Alice.
  • @kevinstutt2259
    Thank you for the great video! I've been wanting to go to the North Cascades for years....definitely a reminder to put this park at the top of my list for places to visit!
  • @mikebavoso26
    Great! Thank you so much for showing your viewers places that we would never visit.
  • I watch this video again and it is recommended for watching more times. Great adventure and video.
  • @matejtravels
    Waw really gorgeous scenary! Would love to hike there one day. And video is also great, nice shots, lovely music, not to much of talking. Perfect. You look stunning as well.
  • @pacnwhiker1213
    You finally made it to WA! Sahale Glacier Camp is epic! The view from the privy is the best from any backcountry privy! Enjoy your time in my state! Can't wait to see where else you go.

  • @howardjackman3242
    What a beautiful park! I'm super excited to see your visit, because I'll be visiting this park next week for 4 days. My legs are already tired...
  • @zachamokikon5897
    The video content is so good....the beauty of nature....❤❤
  • @davek4442
    One of our favorite places to hike. Thanks for sharing,
  • @ExploringEcuador
    I enjoy your hiking videos. 9 years ago my wife and I hiked a section of the PCT from Big Bear to Lake Arrowhead. We are living in Ecuador now and we love it hear. I noticed when you add your narration to your videos it has a bit of an echo sound. I figured out an easy way of getting rid of the echo. I put a blanket over my head and that gets rid of all the echo. The blanket creates a cheep DIY recording studio.

    This is all in my backyard. Totally blessed to have it so close and live here. Sadly we do have a lot of trail head break ins. If you ever get a change to hike the Enchantment Lakes in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness you need to jump on it. It is , by far, the most beautiful area in Washington. Permits are hard to get, especially for the Core zone, less than 1 chance to win one in the lottery. But, it's a must do. Love your videos!
