Park Service Proposing Backcountry Camp Relocations At North Cascades

Share
By Compiled From N... - March 12th, 2022

Past problems with flooding have the National Park Service at North Cascades National Park proposing to relocate the Graybeal Hiker and Stock camps along the Brush Creek Trail. There's also a need to construct additional backcountry camp accommodations for the Pacific Crest Trail long-distance permit holders along the Bridge Creek Trail. 

The Graybeal Hiker and Stock camps were hit by flooding from Brush Creek in 2003, 2006, and 2017. Moving campsites out of the floodplain zone prevents further damage to the camp sites and eliminates entanglement with this natural process, the Park Service said in explaining the need to relocate the camps. Capacity at these camps will remain the same. 

Additional backcountry camp accommodations for Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail long-distance permit holders along the Bridge Creek Trail are needed to address crowding associated with increased usage on this trail in the last several years.
