Lake Constance — Wednesday, Aug. 17, 2011

Olympic Peninsula > Hood Canal

Lake Constance is by far one of my favorite hikes in the Olympics. It was about 75 degrees with beautiful blue skies. Perfect day for a hike. A friend and I ventured to lake constance. We started our hike along the doeswalip. After four miles we came to the Lake Constance trailhead, two miles with an elevation gain of 3,400ft. Im not one to use my hands when hiking but for this climb it's a must. The climb is hard work but very rewarding. Lake Constance is pristine with it's glistening turquiose colors. I found a nice spot on top of a boulder where I enjoyed my lunch before descending down. I can't wait to take other friends on this hike.
