Lake Dorothy - Lake Bear - Lake Deer — Thursday, Jul. 8, 1999

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

The warm weather has eliminated most of the snow, however the very south end of the lake which leads to bear and eagle lake was still snowed in (though probably passable.) Blow-down cleared from trail through midlake past which one must navigate two or three fallen trees. The camp sites at the south end of the lake are useable but not as dry as the north end. Hiked in late Friday afternoon we were the third vehicle. We hiked out Saturday morning and by 11:30 there were 27 vehicles lined up. This is in fact a highly used day hike trail and the usage/abuse to the trail is very evident. Kudos to those who have done work and to those about to do work this coming week-end, your vounteer time and effort will be very much appreciated.
