Company Creek to Glacier Peak Wilderness
What to Expect
Safety Advisory
The steep grade on loose soil can be slippery when wet, and the descent is harder than the climb — take your time on the way down.
This trail sees very little foot traffic, so let someone know your plans. Cell service is nonexistent in the Stehekin Valley.
Trail Details
- 1
Access is via Stehekin, which means you're either taking the Lady of the Lake ferry from Chelan or flying in — plan your shuttle timing around the trail, not the other way around.
- 2
Trekking poles are close to mandatory here. The grade is relentless and the descent will punish your knees without them, especially if the trail is damp.
- 3
For the best views of Bonanza Peak, push past the wilderness boundary sign by another ten minutes — the viewpoint opens up significantly once you clear the last stand of subalpine fir.
