As a life lifetime Washinton resident, I can think of a kazillion little 2
and 3 day trips along the PCT. If you want a great loop, drive to the town of
Chelan and take the 8:30 a.m. " Lady of the Lake" boat to the landing at
Lucerne, which is 37 miles up the lake. Then take the old school bus ( which
meets the boat and cost 6 dollars ) 11 miles to Holden Village. ( which it an
old copper mining camp ) Then hike up Railroad creek trail 11 miles to
Suiattle Pass. Hike PCT North to High Bridge. ( located on road above
Stehekin ) Take bus from High Bridge back to Stehikin and go straight to
bakery just outside of town. Then take boat back to your car 55 miles down
lake. Best three day trip in the state. Also grab a Grifford- Pinchot Map
which is useful in making short trips on PCT in Southern Wash. Options are
endless as forest service roads cut the PCT in many places. PS ( Don't
overlook the nice Prince Creek to Stehekin trail which runs along the east
shore of lake in the spring, when snow buries the high trails. Lake Chelan is
a good inland paddle for kayakers and has shelters spaced 8 to 10 miles apart
all the way with good fishing as well. If you have aging parents, drag them
along for the boat ride and let them go straight to Stehekin and wait for
you. ( The boat trip is a trip it's self )
