1 Review of Harts Pass
Alpine campground near the highest passable road in Washington State
The road to Hart's pass is carved into the side of a mountain and NOT for the faint of heart. But once you're up there, the views are great. It was pretty smoky in August of 2018 from all the wildfires and the campground itself was burned through in the not too distant past (not sure when) but it is still a gorgeous spot. It is the kick off for the last leg of the PCT before Canada and the start of a nice backpack South to Rainy Pass.
There is little or no shade or privacy because of the lack of trees but the sites are fairly far apart.
Great place for star gazing!
