This was a relaxing day hike on a gorgeous 75-80° day. The trail is nothing spectacular - relatively flat with the lake just out of reach, but the views of Mt. Baker were amazing. Too bad I have a crappy camera. We ended up using the camera on our phones.
After 4.5 miles, we stopped to have lunch at a campground. There were a few people there (and an adorable corgi), but we found a spot by the lake. On our hike out, we were planning on which beach to head to and started dreading the traffic to anywhere in Seattle on a sunny day. Then, Andy remembered seeing a washout area earlier in the hike that would make a nice spot to lay out in the sun. Good thing I brought my swim top. We ended up taking a detour to that spot right on the lake and laid out for an hour or so. Happy Angela.
