Gothic Basin is a great backpacking hike or long day hike. Off the Mountain Loop Highway near Barlow Pass, it is a great way to scope out all the peaks in the area.
Diablo Lake is a reservoir in the North Cascade mountains of northern Washington state, United States. Created by Diablo Dam, the lake is located between Ross Lake and Gorge Lake on the Skagit River at an elevation of 1,201 feet (366 m) above sea level.
The unique, intense turquoise hue of the lake's water is attributed to the surrounding glaciers that grind rocks into a fine powder that is carried into the lake through creeks. That fine powder stays suspended in the lake, giving the water its brilliant color. #nationalpark #roadtrip
Lake Theseus during the day. I wish we'd gone down to explore this lake instead of just admiring it from above. I understand that one should camp at its shores if Lake Minotaur is busy. Alas, we only had so much time.

It just means that we will head back there sometime.

Like that we could take our dogs with us. Did not like that there was other dogs there not on leashes makes it very hard to take you dogs for walks etc. so we had to stay behind the building near the river. Staying in a place like that dogs should be kept on leashes so everyone can enjoy
