[pct-l] Stevens Pass to High Bridge/Lake Chelan

[Joe Bastian]

You can arrange shuttle service with Gabby Cabby in the Methow. She can pick you up at Rainy pass and drive you back to Steven's pass.
We did something similiar last year and worked great. 
 
FYI, No cell service at Rainy pass.

Phil,

The only way to get to or from Stehekin is by boat, trail, or float plane.
If you hike north from Stevens to Stehekin, you can take the ferry back to
Chelan, ride the Chelan County transit bus south to Wenatchee, and then take
the Trailways bus to Stevens Pass.  They both use the same terminal in
Wenatchee.  Or you could park at Chelan and do the bus parts of the shuttle
before your hike.  The Apple Inn in Chelan will let you park in their lot if
you stay there one night.  If you hike all the way to Rainy Pass you will
have to hitch to Chelan to get any kind of public transportation.

Here are some links that might help:

Good Luck.  This is one of the most beautiful and wild stretches of the PCT.

This will be my first time hiking the PCT and I'm planning on doing the
Steven's Pass to High Bridge Section.  I'd like to go to Rainy Pass, but I
don't have the time or the means of transportation to get back to my car at
Steven's Pass.  I'm looking for any advice on this section.  How long will
it take? (I'm thinking 7 days).  What's the shuttle/ferry situation like to
get back to my car at Steven's Pass? or do I park at Stehekin and is there
a shuttle from there to Steven's Pass?  Thanks for everyone's help.
Phil
