Blue Lake — Thursday, Aug. 14, 2025

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Mountain goats

Great hike to Blue Lake! Surprisingly busy for a Thursday morning -- we took the last stop in the lot at 8:30 am. The toilet at the trailhead is in good condition and so was the trail itself. Took just under 2 hours for our party roundtrip. We were even lucky enough to see a mountain goat and it's two babies on the overlook trail by the lake. I see why this one is so popular, a plesant well-graded trail with a beatuiful lake reward.
