Sauk Lake, Sauk Mountain — Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2009

North Cascades > North Cascades Highway - Hwy 20

What an amazing hike! We went up to Sauk Mt. where the views were just incredible and the flowers still blooming. This was my first time doing this hike. I was completely enchanted by the emerald green color of Sauk Lake so we extended our outing by heading down to it. A little brushy in areas, but overall the trail to the lake was pretty good. There were a few steroidal horseflies at the lake, but it wasn't too bad. The best part was the incredible amount of ripe blueberries, what a feast! My dog loved them too, and she even managed to pick a few herself. Great time of year to do this hike. Happy Hiking! I'm almost at 100 miles for the month of August....GO HIKE-A-Thoners :0)
