Heather Lake, Lake 22 — Saturday, Feb. 8, 2003

North Cascades > Mountain Loop Highway

Well, me and my faithful hiking companion Sebastian decided to do two hikes. We did Heather Lake as our warm-up hike. It was icy near the top and there was snow up at the lake itself. As it was a sunny day, it was quite pretty and there weren't too many folks around. After finishing that hike we went up to Lake 22 and the first two bridges were icy and then it was icy again going through the rocks. Going up in the ice is always easier than coming back down. Both lakes were frozen over, although there was more snow at Heather Lake than Lake 22. All in all, it was a good hiking foray. Happy Hiking :0)
