Lake Lillian — Sunday, Jul. 29, 2012

Snoqualmie Region > Snoqualmie Pass

It was a beautiful day for a hike and there were very few people. The hike to the Margaret Lake cutoff was steep but pleasant. Near the top there were a few patches of snow and many blow downs but we were able to navigate around all of them. The hike down to Twin Lakes had even more blowdowns and more snow patches. We lost the trail for a little while but were able to pick it up again pretty quickly. There were some snow bridges that looked dangerous so we went around them. The hike up to Lake Lillian was steep but the view was well worth it. The Lake is still mostly covered in snow. On the way back down to the trailhead, we took a wrong trail just after the Margaret Lake turnoff. The main trail actually turns to the right but we missed it as there was also a trail straight ahead over a blow down. The trail finally disappeared and we had to backtrack so be careful and keep your head up so you don't miss the right turn like we did:) We really enjoyed our hike as it was a beautiful day, the lakes were gorgeous and there weren't too many people. It was a great day!!
