Heather Lake on a clear summer day
A nice hot day in Seattle, but suddenly rain up in Granite Falls. The rain clouds blew by as we parked at the Heather Lake parking lot and the temps remained in the upper 80's. This was my first hike without snow at Heather Lake in many years but I wanted my daughter to see what it looked like without all the snow.

The streams are much smaller now and so easy to cross. The cool air by the main stream crossing was a nice place for a break. The lake is great and very warm today with quite a few bugs around. A few people were swimming when we got there at about 1:00pm
