Cutthroat Lake — Sunday, Sep. 7, 2025

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Cutthroat Lake by Kayle

We went on this beautiful hike on our way back to Seattle. We arrived at the parking lot around 8 am (pretty empty) and spent some time at the lake. We returned to the parking lot around 10:30 am and saw at least 5 more cars with plenty of parking still available.

It had rained the night before so the air felt clearer and cooler than the previous few days. The trail is well maintained. There was a hint of fall colors in the leaves-just the beginning.
