Sourdough Mountain Trailhead — Attraction in Area E (Chilliwack River Valley)

Completed 5/27/23. From the campsite to summit is all snow, pretty dangerous in spots if you aren’t ready for it.

Bucket list hike in the North Cascades but make sure you are up for a lot of uphill. Good thing is that the stiffness of the hike does cut down on the...
