Ira Spring Trail - Mason Lake — Monday, Jul. 28, 2025

Hiked to Mason Lake from the Ira Spring Trailhead on a Monday morning. Rewarded with lots of berries by the lake proper - near the spur trail to the toilet especially. Beautiful, clear lake at swimmable temperature, what a delight to take a dip after the climb up! Trail was clear & not too crowded. Lots of wildflowers in bloom too - twin flower, salal, fireweed, Indian paintbrushes and pearly everlasting.
