Lake Janus and Grizzly Peak — Saturday, Aug. 27, 2011

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - East

Great hike to Lake Janus with the family. The trail was beautiful and in excellent shape. There's one big blowdown just after the intersection with the PCT, but it's very easy to navigate around - we made it no problems with a baby in an Ergo and a dog on leash. We also watched two people leading llamas navigate around it with no problems either. One tip: get to the trailhead early! We were hiking by 8 am and there were already cars in the parking lot. By the time we got back the lot was full and people were parking on the road. We were glad to have started early and finished early. And one word of warning: the mosquitoes are BAD. Bring bug spray! Still a great hike, despite the bugs.
