2Neon blue lakes reflecting the wilderness

North Cascades National Park, Washington

Just a couple of hours out of Seattle, overlooking the sub-alpine wilderness there is a 700-foot ridgeline. Head for the Thornton Lakes region of the park. Take the five-mile Thornton Lakes Trail. You will be hiking through heavy brush, followed by colorful green vegetation to the above-mentioned ridgeline.

You will then hike down and across a number of boulders until you arrive at the reflective lake that mirrors the snow-topped mountains and the evergreen trees. Break the total 10 miles up into 2 days by camping for the night in the wilderness.
