Lake Dorothy - Lake Bear - Lake Deer — Saturday, Oct. 26, 2002

Central Cascades > Stevens Pass - West

With rain threatening we decided to do Dorothy Lake today, Sunday. The trail is clear and in good shape though there is evidence of some restoration about to begin. Erosion has done some normal damage with exposing roots, etc. I would classify the hike as a moderately difficult one. Although only about 2 miles long, one way, it is somewhat steep and lots of rocks and roots to navigate around, and deep steps. It's a great hike, no problems. Saw about 15 or so other hikers, many with their leased dogs. Rained lightly as we were just getting into our lunch at top by the lake. Many of the sitting areas around the lake are roped off for repair. Round trip took us about 2hrs and 45 min.
