Ptarmigan Traverse-The country’s most beautiful mountaineering route
The Ptarmigan Traverse in Washington State’s North Cascades has had the word “classic” pinned to it nearly from the time it was pioneered in 1938. You don’t get much more high-n-wild in the Lower 48 than on this 45-mile-plus mountaineering trip, which starts in North Cascades National Park and immediately dives south into the Glacier Peak Wilderness. David Burdick shares another of his adventures on this 5 days, 45 miles, 12,000 ft elevation gain journey.
