Little Giant Pass is home to one of the finest views in Washington State: the sight of the Napeequa River, winding its lazy way through the perfect U-shaped valley left by receding glaciers that cling wearily to the surrounding heights and feed the silver ribbon beneath your feet. It is a rare prize, this view, locked away at the end of a long, 4,000-foot climb that is itself guarded most of the year by an icy river crossing.
