roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time, so you won’t have to worry about different climate zones along your backcountry walk. Of course, this is an overnight walk, 2 days normally, so better have big backpack to fit all the stuff you need. Saint Helens Way is positioned
a relatively lengthy journey from Longview-Kelso, but many folks like to backcountry walk here to be close to the wilderness. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can walk it just one way. Being 12 miles long; it's
a long great outdoors trail. These hiking and backpacking trails here in the Northern Cascade Range are a really fine way to spend quality time in the outdoors. This part of Washington is always a delight to go to during backcountry backpacking season.
Briefly about the
general area:
That right there is lots of exciting stuff already but it goes on, the Northern Cascade Range has it all. If you come at the right time of year, Siouxon Creek offers some glorious whitewater, and West Fork Swift Creek is one of the streams nearby that might be
worth going to. You'll beyond doubt wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the enjoyable stuff in the Northern Cascade Range. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Muddy River.
And if that's not enough, there's heaps more to do in
close proximity to Saint Helens Way. Some nearby water includes Swift Creek, and do put some time aside to spend at Loowit Falls while you're here at Saint Helens Way. Plains of Abraham is a tremendous location, and if you came for an overnight stay Cougar Park is a brilliant site
to camp. Sugar Bowl is a wonderful place to check out, and The Breach is a pleasant place to go to.
Kalama Spring is always fun to check out, and Beaver Bay Campground is a pleasant local campground.
