Jacob and Dad swam to the island. There were more bees than mosquitoes, but almost no mosquitoes. Large camp area with homemade picnic table. Trees were burned for the first 4 miles of this hike. Thimble berries, raspberries, and huckleberry bushes, but no berries. Nice place to camp at the bottom of the trailhead as well as horse camp a quarter of a mile in. Total distance is 9.8 miles. Trailhead is about 1 hour 45 minutes away from home/ 84 miles.

Amazing hike from prince creek all the way to steheken (with a stop at Moore creek point). Great weather and elevation gain wasn’t too bad (worst part is the first half or the first walk to the Moore Creek campground). Saw lots of mushrooms!

Starting at Prince Creek Campground on Lake Chelan 18 miles to the town of Stehekin. With overnights at Meadow Creek shelter and Moore Point Campgrounds. Lovely trails, a bit overgrown in places and was very hot, 100+ degrees. Mosquitos were not a problem. Yellowjackets are aggressive.
Lovely town to visit and meet fellow hikers. Visit Rainbow Falls and the bakery!

The first half of this trail is terrible and really brushy. The second half is gorgeous. Scatter Lake is full of Larches and the scramble up to Abernathy didn’t feel too dicey. Coming down the scree was surprisingly easy. Glad to have checked this one off.
