Catleap Peak
North Cascades, Washington
Foreground: Tower Mountain & Golden Horn
Off the grid in the mountains is where solitude and peace are often abundant. It’s my escape from the 9 to 5 nonsense, even if only for the weekend.
It was an incredible five months off the beaten path, beginning with Catleap Peak and Hock Mountain in Lake Chelan-Sawtooth Wilderness. Later on, we visited Burnt Boot Peak and Mile High on the back burner.
The dogs spent most of the latter two months in boarding as I slowly chipped away at the more rugged peaks.
