North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

Beautiful panoramic views of mountains and larches around the lake.

We started late at 2:30 pm after doing Blue Lake in the morning. There were plenty of parking spots.

There is intermittent snow on the trail upto the lake. We had microspikes and mostly needed it in the last 0.5 miles leading to the lake - there were a couple of small uphill slopes with snow which were slippery. It started snowing when we were just about to reach the lake.

The panoramic view of snow covered mountains with larches and the lake was gorgeous.
