Blue Lake — Thursday, Sep. 25, 2025

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20
Blue Lake by IowaFarmboy

Beautiful early fall hike to Blue Lake. The larch trees were just starting to turn. The lake was clear and we saw some lake trout swimming.

We arrived around 9:30 and the parking lot was nearly full. When we returned after a leisurely hike the parking lot was full and several cars were parked along the road

We took the short tarn loop trail that went to a small tarn near the lake.
