I haven't done anything fun this summer! I've been too busy! But darn it before summer is over, this is one hike I want to do!

Blanca Lake in Washington's Cascade Mountains, looks amazing! My son and DIL hiked up to it and said it was awesome!

{Washington Trails Association]

"Visit one of the most striking lakes in the Henry M. Jackson wilderness. The vibrant blue of the glacier-fed lake provides the perfect rest stop for hikers who have braved the thirty-odd, steep switchbacks that lead to the lake.

The trail starts in cool second growth forest, but the trees are quite sizable. In the fall, the squirrels roughhouse in the trees high above your head. Occasionally they drop gigantic pinecones from high above, and while the resulting crash is startling, it is fun to watch"
