Devils Dome Loop - Jackita Ridge
WillhiteWeb.com
Hiking Distance: 42 miles
This is a popular loop in the North Cascades. Most take three or four days to do the hike but two days is plenty if you are a strong hiker. Permits are not needed on the east half of the loop so if you avoid camping along Ross Lake, you can do the trip on a whim without having to deal with the National Park racketeers, I mean rangers. There is plenty of information online and in books. Here are my pictures of the trail. There is a separate link on the page to my Devils Dome pictures and my side trips.
