Last Monday two of my friends and I went on a 8.5 mi. r/t hike to a beautiful lake. I thought I'd share some pictures from that trip...

The trail started out pretty easily with lots of wooden bridges:


As we moved on the trail started getting rougher:


And rougher:


To the point where it almost disappeared completely:


It was worth the trip though. As I climbed over the final hill I was hit with the site of the most beautiful, secluded lake I have ever seen:


We continued to an area marked for day use:


where the birds were very friendly (if you had food!)


At the far end of the lake (it was only about 1/4 mile long) was a lovely marsh area and more views of the lake:


Since we didn't have all day (no camping gear) we only stayed a couple of hours. On the way back we stopped to see some nice little water falls:


It was truly a wonderful experience! I'm sure we will be going back for an overnight stay, as well as some additional hikes to other small lakes in the area!

Thanks for reading,
Aaron

It's in Washington State, about 6 miles west of the Stevens Pass summit on US HWY 2.

Thanks for the comments all!
