Thanks Tim! You’re right, I haven’t posted in quite a while but I am still paying attention. I promise to breathe some life back into this blog come spring.

looks like I showed up to the party about 18 months too late. Bummer, but please keep what is here up! As a new hiker to the Pacific Northwest I am really enjoying the blog.

I do trust all the ideas you have presented in your post. They are very convincing and can definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very brief for novices. May you please lengthen them a little from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.

Great description of the hike. Very helpful in preparing to do it.

Thanks for the tip! This was indeed a great little backpacking trip.
The hike in was longer than 2 miles (everyone agreed), and was indeed quite steep, but was enjoyable and definitely the views were great.
I would add that there are only 6 campsites here. 3 obvious ones to the left as you reach the lake, two of which are big enough for a larger tent or for 2-3 small tents. The other 3 sites are along the right side of the lake, and the trail to get there is not obvious at all. It’s part trail, part bushwhacking, but if you stick close to the lake, you’ll find the other 3 spots.
The skeeters were not terrible but not great when we went (Labor Day). There were also a lot of flies but none of them bit us (a fellow camper said there are biting flies sometimes). We used the natural bug spray and it worked fine.
There were lots of huckleberry bushes, and some of them had berries, if you looked off the trail. The lake has crawdads.
Thanks again for sharing!

Good to see that you’re out hiking pretty early in the spring! Should be getting a bit warmer/less muddy here on out!

Hey Jason! I’m using a Nikon D300s (but with my sorta crappy 18-55mm kit lens from my old D3000). Hoping to upgrade lenses soon!

I’m with you, cannot wait for spring. Let’s hope we don’t have to wait too long.

You might have answered this already… but what kind of camera do you have? I’m looking forward to the spring! (well…The Northwest’s Spring…which should occur around June-ha)

Thanks Phil!

Going to adjust their monitor now so they don’t think I’m a terrible photographer…
