Backpacking North Cascades National Park 4K | Cascade Pass | Pelton Basin

- I was invited spur of the moment to join @NicoleHikesalot on an overnight backpack in Washington's North Cascade National Park. I hiked in solo as Nicole had gone in the day prior. It was almost Labor Day Weekend so permits weren't easy to come by. Thank you Nicole! The hike begins in the lush, green rainforest ascending 38 switchbacks before opening up to stunning views of snow capped peaks and flowing cascades everywhere the eye could see. It's a visual feast. I come across Pika's, Marmots and maybe even a black bear! Join me!

Great video! With all that elevation gain, you still take the effort to set the camera and hike up and down in front of us - thanks so much 😊 for what you do, keep doing it!
WOW!.... that IS a spectacular place! Beautiful scenes & you did a wonderful job of capturing it all. The music is very relaxing also, Not too loud, I appreciate that. THX for sharing!
Wow!😂! That was beautiful mountain scenery, flowers and animals! You're videos are like natural poem with solitude!😊
So the bear showed up--nice film capture of him. Those mountains are so beautiful. Really like this one!
You can tell you are photographer. Your videos are so tasteful and beautiful.
Not I am sweating, and this is amazing.
Fantastic footage of the bear. What a shiny coat he/she had! Looked nice and healthy. It did look like a pretty chilly night by that lake. Brrr.... Nice to meet new friends, too. 👍
Amazing..... as usual...... another stunning videographic creation. Perfecting the art..... graciously.
Thank you so much 😀
the Cascades are awesome, i love them in Oregon where the McKenzie river trail is...out of Bend there are so many incredible trails along the Deschutes, the Metolius, the McKenzie, the Fall, the Crooked rivers.....even along Tumalo creek at the falls is pretty bad-ass.....i would have stopped to pick huckleberries...... ; )
Switch backs have always reminded me of hikers handy cap ramps. They more than double the trail length but make it so much more enjoyable than going straight up hill.
You haven’t posted any new videos for a few weeks, so I decided to view this video from two years ago. I love these hiking videos! You are so talented at bringing forth the beauty of the trails. Your narration and music selection also add to the experience of the hike. Thank you Cat. 🤠
I absolutely love the Cascade mountains of Washington State.... all of it!🤘the extreme part like North Cascades NP and the southern part near Mt St Helens/Adams. And the forests are I think the most beautiful in all of America, probably the world coupled with British Columbia's forests too🔥🤙seriously!
I like how you can still hear the hiking and nature sounds in this video even though you add music as well.
Love the pikas! You caught not one, but two of them doing their call, good job!
We did this trail 3 years ago late August so it was warmer - I remember the 38 switchbacks! We had to hike an extra 2 miles to the trailhead maybe because the road was washed out, so it was a long out and back day hike, but the picas and one marmot and views made it spectacular. Hiked the road up to Artist Point the next day for views of Mt Baker and Shuksan. Lucky you saw a bear!
I m pretty excited to be hiking myself soon . Nature is calling .
You have such a great eye, Cat. And I'm only less than 5 mins into your video...Love the Pika-lol. Never forget; it's the tiny pieces that connect the bigger picture😍
Bravo. Your artistry, artistic eye, use of music, so beautiful. Thank you so much!
Such beautiful adventures. You will never regret your decision to step out of the corporate comfort zone in order to truly live.
So cool 😎 you camped with Nicole and Tim !!!!! You are amazing Catherine!!! Absolutely gorgeous stunning hike ! Thanks for sharing all of this beauty! If I ever see you on the trail, I will cry my guts out ! I really love your videos and appreciate your stunning videos and photography...!!!
Awe! You’re so sweet Christi. Please say hello if you ever see me out there. Xo
Thanks once again for taking us along.
What a beautiful hike. The mountain peaks are majestic and that bear - so cool. Thanks for sharing. Cheers
My home. Love these beautiful mountains. Thanks for sharing, Catherine.
Pika pika - my fav alpine spirit animal! They are downright exhibitionists when you roll camera.
😂😂😂
Great content, as always! Everything there looks so pristine!! Thanks for taking us along..😀
Many many thanks! I used to live in Central Oregon and hiked the Cascades with utmost joy. So good to be with you on this hike.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have been watching videos on Northern Cascade National Park and while I am subscribed to your channel, I had not seen this one. Just beautiful photography. Well done. Makes me want to go there even more.
I love this one and hoping to get on this next summer. Really enjoyed hearing the dripping water, the pika...a visual and auditory feast!
What a beautiful place! Excellent video Catherine. So glad you were able to camp with Tim and Nicole in a smoke free environment.
Thank you Bryan! It is truly beautiful.
Great photography and music, pretty flowers, babbling brooks, waterfalls, majestic mountain views. Looks like a really sweet trek!
Thanks for this video. 😎💙💛💙💛
Thank you 🙏!
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos because I would be scared to death to do what you do!
That bear was really remarkable... the whole setting really.
It was exciting seeing him!
Another beautiful video Catherine. Beautiful Cascades!
38 switchbacks... Whew! way to go!
Wonderful video. Who needs television when you have Catherine Gregory Productions. Perfect blend of trail walking, grand landscapes, small nature shots, background music, socializing in camp, and narration. You have mastered this craft. I feel guilty that I don't have the money to support you and a couple of others that I watch regularly. Sorry.
Thank you so much. You ARE supporting me by watching the videos, commenting and giving a thumbs up! All of those things help. I appreciate your support.
I have camped in Pelton Basin several times hiking up to Sahale Arm Glacier as well as out to Stehekin. It is a beautiful place!!.
Beautiful trail, beautiful hike. Everything so green, the sky so bright and blue, the majestic granite peaks.
Love your videos. Love the black bear. Remember berry season is bear season as they feed for winter. Be safe my friend.
Thanks for all your great work in filming, the extra miles on every trail to get your shots.
Thank you so much for your support John!
Loved the pika and the lazy marmot, the black bear too! This was a beautiful hike and you made me feel as if I were along with you! Thank you for all the time and energy you put into your hikes and videos so we get to experience the beautiful mountains with you while we are stuck at home! I can’t wait to get out and hike again, but til then I will “hike”with you! 😍
So glad you enjoyed it Vickie. Thank you.
Just beautiful how you capture the subtle nuances of nature and all her beauty. A lot of work goes into these type of videos. Not just the editing, but as you must walk back and forth to get the shots and then go back for the camera. I watch your videos first thing in the morning with my coffee.....starting my day with peace, calm, and tranquility....thank you!
Thank you so much Jud!

My pleasure!
Hello Catherine, a big thank you for sharing another beautifully filmed video. My favorite hiking and trout fishing area in Eldorado County is now engulfed in flames, with only
7% containment. The very best to you every day for your good health and safety. I really enjoyed this video. 🤗
Oh no. Stay safe out there!
...another Rembrandt.. thank you.
😀🙏
Well Done Younglady! The scenes are not word worthy, none would suffice.
Well done
Thank you Greg!
A refreshing moment of zen. With all the fires and smoke weighing heavy on my heart, it was a beautiful reminder of the beauty and rejuvenation being in nature can bring. Thank you.
Hello Catherine😊! I have been to Olympic and Mt Rainer National Parks but have never been to North Cascades National Park so it was so nice follow along with you on the trails. I really love the alpine areas and the beautiful black bear. You got to see this SPECTACULAR Park before the fires caused all kinds destruction. This was a great video Catherine😊. I'm looking forward to the next video.
Thank you so much Al. Fortunately, I think it’s just smoke affecting this park and not actual fire. I hope it stays that way. 🙏
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Hi Catherine😊! That smoke has made it all the way to Rhode Island and all of the northeast. At times the sun looks like a small dot. Hope things clear up.
Beautiful stuff Cat, thank you! I do so love the PNW.
I "like" your videos before I even see them cause I know I will love them! Love the mood of your videos... thanks for taking us with you on these hikes. You're an inspiration for me. Keep on hiking!
Thank you 🙏 !
Very good, very nice presentation.i am always traveling with you.my blessings always with you.
So glad to see you made it to our state! Welcome to the PNW! You captured the North Cascades with your lens so well. This area of the world is a peace of heaven. Perfect timing before the smoke covered the area. Pray for us Catherine as we go thru this wildfire season. We’ve been covered by thick smoke for days now. Come back hike the Maple Pass Loop early October for incredible colors.
I am praying.
Catherine Gregory Thank you.
So beautiful. I had to watch it again!
😎💙💛💙💛💙💛
Thank you!! 🙏
Well Done Catherine! I live next to the Olympic mountains, but have never gone to the cascades. Thank's for giving me a Look See!
Hi Catherine. Found your channel through Nicole Hikesalot Adventures. Really cool you were able to do a collab with Nicole. We do some hiking with the family - but very beginner level. So we live through you guys for these hardcore hiking and camping. The trail there is so beautiful and love how you captured the tranquility of these hike with the music choice. Thanks for taking us with you.
Thank you so much and I really appreciate you checking out my channel!
Gorgeous area. You put on a lot of extra miles for us on this trail. Thank you so much for all the hard work that goes into these vids. It is noted and appreciated!
Thank you so much Karen.
gosh, so many of us just watch, and probably don't even think about the almost double amount of hiking that you do, by having to set up the camera and then double back to and from it! All those switchbacks...that is just amazing. Thank you so much for all the efforts in showing us all the beauty that is out there. keep on hiking and enjoying this beautiful land.
Not an inkling of over statement concerning the views, they are truly magnificent. Exemplary videography, a truly exceptional, artistic production Kudos & thanks.
Thank you so much!
Wow!!!! Very different landscape than the Sierras near me.....the overall color seems different. Seems big and rugged but not overly so. Watching late at night so it is very refreshing after being in smoky conditions all day. Loved the sounds in this video....the breezes sound really good......moving water too and that little critter saying "peep peep" too haaaaa
haha...Those Pika's are so cute. Thank you Mike!!
First time viewer and I'm mesmerized by the beauty of your travels, filming, editing, music. Amazing ! Enjoyed 4 adventures today. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much Pamela! Glad you found the channel. Welcome!
Nice adventure,beautiful scenery. We liked the bear and the Pika and I think I saw a Marmot. Things still terrible here, stay where you are!!
Thank you Todd. Unfortunately, things are terrible where I am too.
Looks great Cat and liking your music selection as well. What a relaxing thing to watch after my long and stressful day at work
Here is another one that I had missed. WOW you are great
Always beautiful visuals and sounds including your face and voice.
The colors were so vivid. Great video of the critters and bear. Another fun one 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you.
Beautiful beautiful
Wow absolutely beautiful! Stay safe and thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing the video! You are living a wonderful life!
Stunning photography and music. You have an artist's eye.
You nailed it! I was trying to figure out what separated her videos from so many others. I think you are right, she looks at things the way an artist would. She makes me want to grab my watercolors and start painting LOL
So glad you were able to hike Washington. Beautiful photography and spectacular scenery. Always a joy to watch.
Thank you so much!
How nice to meet up with new friends!!!!
😍😍 Miss my old friend! Xoxo
Great hike Catherine. My family lives in Bellingham WA and I've done that one a couple of times. One of my favs in the area. I've never gone into the basin I've always hiked up the arm from the pass. If you ever get back to the area and do the hike again I would recommend hiking up at the pass. Stunning views when you get up on top which I know you would love. Loved the footage you got especially of the waterfalls and bear. Great job as always!!! Beautiful thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! Yes...I need to go up to the Glacier next time.
Great to see you meet people... and great music
Glad you made out before all the smoke from the fires. I live in the South Puget Sound area about 30 mins from Tacoma, and it's been really gross here this weekend. Very smokey.
I frequent Mt Rainier a lot and have yet to venture north. One of these days I'll make it up North Cascades. It looks beautiful up there!
Beautiful country!
Love this hike!!! Did it a little bit before you I think. Will definitely be back! Thanks for the video and great shots of the pica
Those Cascades really are beautiful aren’t they. Nice video Catherine. It’s cool you were able to get together with Nicole and Tim. Nicole seems seems like a neat lady.
She really is. Thank you Joe.
Beautiful hike and the falls coming down the mountians. Can't forget the bear he was a beauty. Thank You for another wonderful Sunday coffee morning
Completely amazing....
What a difference to see the photographers eye in your videography. You don't just capture video clips, but you obviously frame each and every shot in a a way that shows command of composition, use of lighting and focus depth of field. Again - well done! It makes your video's have that extra level of quality that goes beyond 4K to reflect the art in what you do. So grateful for the shots of setting up/tearing down camp, cooking meals, the isolated shots of the small beauty around you. I admire you so much for what you are doing and the level of art in your work.
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind feedback. It has definitely been an adjustment going from still photography to videography. I’m still learning every day.
Welcome to my backyard Catherine. If you thought the Cascades were beautiful, you should check out the Olympics out on the peninsula. Thank you for making this vid
Another great video Cat ty so much for all of these adventures!!!!
beautiful mountains. Thanks for the video.
Absolutely beautiful video.👍
I hope you picked a bunch of hucklebrrries to add to morning oatmeal or pancakes.

Catherine Gregory
Welcome !👩❤️👨🌈🇨🇦
Beautiful hike. I was there a couple weeks ago and literally had my tent setup in the same spot yours was in Pelton Basin. If you ever have a chance to go up to the Sahale Arm from Cascade Pass to Sahale Glacier Camp I would highly recommend it. The views up there are ridiculous and the camp sites up there are unreal.
thank you so much for your really very beautiful video, inspiring and motivating (to hike there one-self) . amazing
Such a beautiful hike, I love all your videos oh, I pray for you always that you are safe in your travels and in your hikes, I so enjoy your enthusiasm! I pray God blesses you with many awesome adventures...
Thank you so much! I'll take the prayers🙏. I appreciate it.
Catherine, Its incredibly beautiful. I am amazed at you. It actually scares me to be out like that alone.
As I sit here in dense smoke, watching your blue sky video is like a breath of fresh air (pordon the pun).
The entire Cascade Range is closed due to the fires here in Oregon.
Thanks Kat!
Another stunning video, thanks for sharing with us.
Great Hike! Great place! 🇺🇸 👍🏻
Absolutely stunning video the walk backs must be a killer on a hike thank you for your hard work and great videos from lockdown Ireland😁
The music you chose is excellent.
👍👍👍Thanks.
Very solid hike.
Your videos remind me of when I was a kid (70's) and my favorite shirt was brownish gold and said "Go climb a Rock" . I miss Yosemite .
Love that!
Relaxing and beautiful video as always!
my new favorite channel.....Cat you are great....... thank you.
Wow, thank you!
@@CatherineGregoryAdventures Have you ever been to Rae Lakes or Evolution Basin in King's Canyon NP? May I suggest them please, you will love it. Different than Thousand Island Lake but similar Wow factor.
Beautiful can't wait to get back out and do some hiking. The smoke is restricting me from routine. Crabbing and fishing on the Washington coast. It's not so bad fishing is good. Thank you again..
Thank you Catherine for taking me along on that great hike. The scenery was spectacular at that place, very green and sharply in focus as well.
