Days 7-9: North Cascades National Park

Then I hustled it up to North Cascades. I originally thought I'd spend a day and leave, but I ended up spending two days, in order to do a couple of different hikes. I got there and immediately checked out the Ladder Creek Falls. The next day, I did the hikes near the visitor center (and saw a whole lot of salmon spawning) and then did the Cascade Pass trail (7 miles round-trip, maybe 1500' ascent). On the third day, I went and hiked out to Blue Lake.
