The weather in the PNW is finally nice enough to start day-hiking to some of the easy-to-access alpine lakes. Not everyone realizes that we have such a dramatic landscape filled with alpine lakes. There are hundreds of them. Each one is simply arresting in it’s beauty and uniqueness; each lake will make you gasp when you see it. It’s not an exaggeration to say that we have some serious world-class scenery in this state.
Last Sunday we hiked up to Lake Serene; a perfect example of the scenic splendor found in our collective back yard. The only problem was that everyone had the same idea.
