Lena Lake — Saturday, Jun. 21, 2025

I was part of the WTA team celebrating Washington Trails Day, arrived at the trailhead about 8:30am to find many cars already in the parking lot. It was a great event, met many wonderful people as they set out to either day hike or backpack to the lake. I decided to head up myself about 1:30pm, the trail is in great condition. Still some wildflowers blooming, including rhododendrons along the trail and at the lake. Came across one blowdown about the 2.5 miles up the trail (see photo), I was able to go under without any difficulty.

 Views at the lake were beautiful, many hikers enjoying the view from Lunch Rock. Running short on time, this was my turn around point. Arrived back at the trailhead about 4:30pm, amazed to find the parking area almost full. So wonderful to see so many people enjoying Washington Trails Day.
