Wenatchee to North Bend Day 5

Day 5 on the Wenatchee to North Bend route

Over Cathedral Pass and 10 miles south on the PCT to Waptus Lake. Then up to Ivanhoe Lake and Dutch Miller Gap where I witnessed a thunderstorm off to the east that sparked the Jolly Mountain fire. Then a couple miles down the west side of the gap.
