The North Cascade national park is mainly
an area of 3 dams and reservoirs, close to each other.
Gorge dam and powerhouse 1961, 300 ft, 175 MW.
As pictured yesterday.
Diablo dam 1929, 389 ft, 159 MW.
You can drive over the dam, and this is the reservoir
with Bakers peak in the distance.
(Another park I missed, need to come back....)
Ross dam 1969, 540 ft, 450 MW
Washington pass and mountains
Above the 5400 ft.
Finally, made another good hike.
Up to Pyramid lake and mountain, about 11 km,
from 307 meter to 1,131 meter. Was planning to
go to the peak, but see now that I would have
needed several more hours....
Good that a turned around after 2 hours, especially
when the terrain become to steep to be save.
Ended in Wintrop.
And the local "old schoolhouse brewery". Wooh.
Amazing what they have, the smooth weath,
the 'Ruud Awakening' and 'Imperial IPA' are a must.
This is the culprit of no blog update, last night.
