Type of Hike
Day hike
Set out at 5:30 am in order to get to Deer Lake early enough to do some fishing. Wasn't disappointed. Continued on to Lunch Lake for some more fishing and lunch... bring bug spray. I think I left about 3 pounds of mosquitoes on a rock up there. Flowers were absolutely thick: Red heather, yellow heather, lupine, bear grass, avalanche lilies, indian paintbrush, subalpine spiraea, cascade azalea (a type of rhododendron), tiger lilies, and several others were present a various points along the way.
Hiked out and met up with the family at the hot springs for some much needed R&R. Read more at my site: http://olympicwanderer.com/2010/08/lunch-lake/
