The shelter at Indian Bar, October 1, 2015

14. Cowlitz Divide/Indian Bar

February 25, 2024 by Willis Wall

See a fiery mishap at Indian Bar, a snowy first access in 2013, a few “how the river wanders” sequences, and a trip over the Cowlitz Divide. I snuck in a couple of shots at Indian Bar of my first Wonderland hike in 1987, stylin’ in my short shorts and 50 pound pack. Just another spectacular part of the trail sporting one of the best views of the mountain in the entire park. Run time: 9:35
