Lena Lake — Saturday, Jun. 21, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal
Slippery rocks when wet (on left), Lena creek crossing

This trail is definitively well-known and popular, at least to the lower lake. The trail is like an highway - two-people wide, clean and well maintained. 

Going up to the upper lake is, instead, less frequented and as such the trail itself is less of an "highway".

Beautiful throughout, with blooming flowers and unique scents.

Three patches of snow on the way up, solid and walk-able (at the time of writing, conditions may change as snow melt).

The melting snow and rain of past 24h have made the last crossing Lena creek (47.63153, -123.19723) still impossible, though; current too strong and the path to the creek was too slippery to risk it alone (see pic).
