Scatter Lake — Saturday, Oct. 1, 2022

North Cascades > Methow/Sawtooth

THE LARCHES ARE TURNING! Cancel your Sunday plans, forget the Seahawks game, it’s time to lace up your hiking boots and get up into the mountains. 

You definitely earn your summit beer on this hike (~4k elevation is no joke!), but the fall foliage is so worth it! The trail is a little bushy for the first 1-2 miles, but other than that it’s not technical or exposed, just a type-2-fun cardio adventure up to the lake. I wish we had time for a summit scramble up to Mt Abernathy, but the 18-month-old in our party decided to take an impromptu dip in the lake (refreshing for grown-ups, but infuriating for toddlers), so we’ll have to save the peak bagging for another day!
