Jeanette Stenson

A really nice out and back hike. The road up there was extremely rocky, must have 4 wheel drive vehicle. We went in mid- June and were surprised that there was so much snow. We definitely were not prepared with snow spikes. We only barely made it up to the lake, and we weren't going to try to navigate the steep summit for extra views without proper snow gear. Must go back to catch the awesome views. We did catch great views of Mt. Rainer though. So it wasn't all lost. Also, the trail is pretty straight forward, but we would recommend getting a map that covers north of the national park.
