That is a really hard hike btw. Really steep. But super beautiful once you get above the treeline.

I believe that. About how long of a hike is it?
SleepyFarts t1_iw4jj96 wrote
About 10 miles
Grewhit t1_iw4jo5j wrote
5 miles to the lake but 3800 ft of elevation gain to do it. The lake is also about 1k ft drop from the top of the trail so you have to gain elevation both directions. Gorgeous area though and a lovely permitted backpack (so you know you won't be crowded out)

That sounds. Far. I should probably start with something shorter 😅

Is the hike you’re talking about to the location this picture was taken from? This vantage point is amazing and I would much rather hike there than the lakes themselves.
SleepyFarts t1_iw4menw wrote
The trail splits so you can either hike down to one of the lakes and a campground, or you can keep going up the mountain like this person has done.

10 miles round trip. That's not terrible. Just bring plenty of water (I ran out) and some snacks, take a nice long break at the lakes, then hike back after you've consumed enough food. There's no rush to finish.

Love the mountain colours then. Didn't know it until now, but it seems I do!

Thought this was a choppy ocean upon first glance. Well done!

Is that a wall or fence for the border of Canada in the upper left quadrant of the picture?

Washington is by far the most gorgeous place I have lived. Great picture.

No, just a row of trees growing in a big crack in the rock. Standing where I took this photo is about 20 miles south of Canada.

The pic is taken from Trappers Peak, a side trail from Thornton.
