Lake Dorothy - Lake Bear - Lake Deer — Tuesday, Jun. 30, 1998

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

Even though the marine clouds covered the Seattle area once past Index the skys were clear. The trail to Dorothy Lake is in good shape. Except for some minor mud and water near the end, the trail was dry. My nine year old made it without difficulty. My five year old had to be carried over the rocky portions near the end. Some of the trail is difficult for people with such short legs. The lake looked great and the trout were active. There is water over the road about 1 mile from the trailhead (30' wide 6-8"" deep). Our truck made it though without any problem and we saw that several smaller sedan were also able to negotiate it. Besides that small obstacle, the trail is fine.
