Cascade Pass part 4: At the top of the pass you can look East and see the Stehekin River which flows into the Columbia, while the water behind you flows West into Puget Sound. The clouds will burn off around midday and let you see the mountains. But the real fun comes when you ascend the Sahale Arm, leading up to Sahale Glacier and Peak. It's only two more miles (3.2km), but an additional 2200 (670m) feet elevation gain. Let's go. 4/7

View from just a little way up Sahale Arm showing the clouds flowing through the valley like a river. Johannesburg Mountain, a huge peak with snowfields clinging to its steep
Sides, looms beyond.
Path leading away from arcade Pass to the East. The clouds are blowing through and obscure the trees nearby, which are hemlock trees, but through the mist you can see massive peaks beyond.
