August 4, Thursday: Heather Lake

We hiked up to Heather Lake, circled it and return to the car.

Washington Trails Association defines Heather Lake as a "scenic little lake located on the northeastern slope of Mount Pilchuck. The hike features a trail that can be steep, rocky and full of roots. There are long-since vanquished old-growth trees along the route as well as some old growth that are still thriving. The lake sits in a basin, flanked by steep mountains.
