We took a break in North Cascades National Park and went on our way to Blue Lake. There are many similar lakes and each of them has a small parking lot, so if you do not catch one, you will stop at the other and take a walk. It is about an hour's drive to Blue Lake with an elevation gain of 200–300 meters, but you can really see paradise on earth here.

Road to Blue Lake

Clear blue lake

We took a break in North Cascades National Park and went on our way to Blue Lake. There are many of these lakes and there is a small parking lot for each of them, so if you don't catch one, we'll stop at the other and take a walk. It is about an hour's drive to Blue Lake with an elevation gain of 200–300 meters, but one can really see paradise on earth. The road is first on a plain in a beautiful forest and after about 30 minutes it starts to climb and the landscape opens up, thanks to a recent avalanche. From here it is constantly rising to the saddle where this beautiful lake is located. There is a remnant of a log cabin, so this place was probably owned by someone favorite. The cabin appears to have been destroyed for a long time. There are trails around the lake, so a walk is possible around it.

Avalanche landscape

An avalanche has fallen here in recent years, sweeping away everything that stood in its way. Up in the saddle is a lake.

Abandoned log cabin

Maybe it belonged to a hunter, a gold digger, a tramp, or someone else.
