Beaver Lake — Friday, Jan. 23, 2015

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway
Hiking is primarily a spiritual and sensual pursuit for me. I don't really love destination-focused exertion that for me personally takes my attention off communion with nature. And this is my favorite kind of hike. Magical mossy forest, the river along-side. Rain the whole time. And that lake! I could sit and just watch it for hours if I wasn't starting to get chilly. What a gorgeous place! I was soaked and unbelievably happy by the time I got back to my car. Had a lucky Friday off so didn't even see a soul. Of course had to stop in for a cup of coffee on the way back as others suggested. He said a few others have come by from this hike, and that he had seen the post about it. That was fun. Great energy there for sure.
