Bearcat Ridge by Emerald Peak / 靠翡翠峯的熊狸脊

Bearcat Ridge was on the list last summer before the hot weather forced a change in plans.

Pup and I have been chasing after big mountains nonstop since Memorial Day weekend.

I first saw the glaciated Entiat River Valley from Seven Fingered Jack, my first Bulger peak.

Due to wildfires in the last couple of years, the Entiat River Road had only been accessible to mile 32.

Over the last few years it had become somewhat of a tradition to do a bigger trip over Fourth of July weekend.

Pups and I continued our quest in the Chelan Mountains to dodge the less than ideal weather in the Cascades.

To make yesterday’s 2.5-hour drive from Seattle to Teanaway worthwhile, I decided to stay east of the mountains and seek out a new hiking spot.
