Snow Lake.
We took a pretty sweet hike with Nathan on Saturday. It wasn't too long (six miles), but gained 1800 feet in elevation. Throw in weather in the high 90s... and the hike was bit of a challenge going up. But, after 2.5 hours, we arrived at Snow Lake.

A rocky climb.

Beautiful subalpine wildflowers.

Picnicking with a sweet chipmunk.

The gorgeous view from the top...

H&S at Snow Lake.

A special treat: meeting a pika along the way. He was tiny and adorable!

Heading back down with Nathan through an area affected by a rock slide...

Snow Lake was one of our first hikes in the PNW! We were all in on hiking after that one!
(by the way, my word verification is "guuts" just needed to share).
Ha ha - guuts! ;)
It was a pretty awesome hike. But definitely a bit harsh in 96 degree weather. I'm guessing you didn't have that kind of bad luck the day you went...
Btw, the PNW misses you! =)
