Blanca Lake

Jul 30, 2005 Saturday
8 miles, 3400ft accumulate elevation gain
9:45->11:15->2:00 --- 3:00->4:45->6:15

Yanda and Husam hiked together with me this time. We left Yanda's home in Kenmore about 9:45. It took us one and a half hour to drive to the trail head. At 11:15, the hike began. It was really hard to climb the steep trail in the forest. Glad to have Husam with us, who was willing and really really capable of carrying a heavy bag. We arrived the amazingly green Blanca lake at 2:00pm. Had a well deserved lunch and enjoyed the lake for one hour. Heading back was easier. We left Blanca lake at 3:00 and was back about 4:45.

Blanca lake, with its unblievable greenness, is the second most beatiful lake only following the Crater Lake in Oregon. Hikers around Seattle defintely should come to have a look.
