Colchuck Lake — Thursday, Jul. 13, 2023

Central Cascades > Leavenworth Area
sigh

Arrived at 8:30am to open spaces on the TH. Left at 3:30pm to nearly empty lot. Including all the burned out cars that had been removed.

Perfect day up there. Counted less than 100 fellow hikers all day and practically had the trail and lakeside swimming to myself. This is the 5th time I’ve done this hike, and yearly, and I’ve learned to go slow and enjoy all the sites along the way. There are many. It’s just an overload of senses, and physical excursion, so practicing mindfulness is the only way for me. 

Nothing really new to report or show that hasn’t already been covered except that my phone health app says I did 11 miles total instead of the 8 posted on the description. 🤷🏻‍♀️
