1. Devils Dome Loop 43 miles; 4-5 days. I did this hike in 1997, mostly in clouds with some drizzle. I want to go back in clear weather to shee the views.

2. White Pass - Pilot Ridge 29.2 miles; 3-4 days. I hiked this in the summer of 2000. Great views of Glacier Peak.

3. Hannegan Pass, Whatcom Pass, Beaver Pass, Big Beaver Trail & Ross Dam Trail; also potential to add Copper Ridge loop. 50 – 60 miles; 5 – 9 days. I did this in 1987 with my buddy Bob Van Abel we started in the east and ended up at Hannegan Pass. This is a classic across the park. Kirsten did this in August of 2020 starting at the Hannegan Pass end.

4. Park Creek Pass from Thunder Creek and out Cascade Pass; 42 miles (5 days). Debbie and I did this in 1992 or so. Another classic crossing of the range from North to South.

5. Buckskin Ridge, Silver Lake, Ferguson Lake, Middle Fork of the Pasayten River, Robinson Pass, Robinson Creek. Not sure of the mileage (30-40); easily 5 days. I hiked to Silver Lake and beyond with my friend Steve Clark in 2007 (?). This area begs to be explored and has lots of solitude.
