Washington National Forest 



Fishing within the main Skagit River and its tributa- 

 ries below Goodell Creek is not good. 



Dolly Yarden and rainbow trout and whitefish are 

 found in Baker Lake, but on the whole the streams in 



this watershed, owing to glacial water, do not offer a 

 strong attraction to the angler. 



The Suiattle River and its tributaries are splendid 

 streams very little fished owing to the difficulty of get- 

 ting across the Sauk River. The Forest Service has a 

 rowboat here, and frequently arrangements can be made 

 with forest officers for a crossing. 



Park Creek Pass — a mighty notch, with Storm King and Logan Peak towering 

 on either side 



Fishing in the North Fork of the Nooksack and its 

 tributaries east of Glacier is not so good. However, the 

 streams here are being stocked and will be right in a few 

 years.

The Mountain Portals 



Along the summit of the Cascades are many picturesque 

 mountain passes, the gateways into western Washington. 



By far the most striking is Park Creek Pass, at the 

 head of Thunder Creek, resembling a great notch cut by 

 the hand of a giant, with Storm King and Logan Peak 

 towering aloft on either side. 



The Lake Chelan country may also be reached by way 

 of Cascade Pass, which is the most direct route. Persons 

 desiring to make this trip can 

 secure provisions at Rock- 

 port and comfortably make 

 the journey on foot from 

 Marblemount to Lake Chelan 

 in four days. Lost Lake 

 basin just beyond Cascade 

 Pass is a formation of fas- 

 cinating beauty. 



The longest intermountain 

 journey through the Wash- 

 ington Forest, however, is 

 by way of Slate Creek Pass 

 at the head of Ruby Creek, 

 which leads into the Okanogan Valley country. Here 

 the tourist is well repaid for his time and energy, as 

 the route passes through the Skagit River canyon and 

 through a mountain meadow country of unsurpassing 

 beauty. 



The trails leading; to all these passes are in first-class 

 condition, but they are usually free from snow on the 

 summit only between July i and October 31. Late 

 seasons are frequent, however, and tourists will do well 

 to secure definite information from the forest supervisor 

 before undertaking an intermountain trip early in July 

 or late in October.
