We hiked from the White River Campground to the stunning turquoise lake at the base of Emmons Glacier; a short but rewarding 3-mile round trip. The trail is in great condition and offers beautiful scenery throughout, including a couple of lovely waterfalls that add to the serene atmosphere.
After crossing Inter Fork Creek and entering the Emmons Moraine section, there is a small section of the terrain that becomes a bit more challenging. The soil is loose in places, so extra caution is advised during the climb. But the effort is well worth it, the lake’s gorgeous color paired with Mt. Rainier towering in the background is a breathtaking sight.
