We went hiking up to Lake 22 in the North Cascades last weekend. This trail is at the base of Mount Pilchuck just off the Mountain Loop Highway and it was absolutely gorgeous. If you are ever in the Seattle area this is a must see place. It was the middle of August and there was still snow up there. It was 5.4 miles round trip and has an elevation gain of 1500 feet and let me tell you, you will feel it, but it’ll feel great once you reach the top because you are rewarded with this beautiful view. It is a very well maintained trail with views of waterfalls

Let me know how your hike turns out!
