The lake itself is a good 32 miles due east of Seattle, just outside North Bend. The hike starts at the lake and then wends through the forest for a good two miles, gaining about 1,000 feet in the process. On a clear day, you can see forever (or a reasonable approximation thereof) from the top. Today was not a clear day. In fact, it was raining in Seattle when we left, but Jo assured us the "Doppler Radar showed it was only raining in the city." Uh, yeah. Didn't happen. But drizzle is a fact of life here in the Pacific Northwest, so despite the rain when we got to the lake, we decided to suck it up. The picture was taken at the summit, and, as you can see from the background, we were in the middle of a cloud. It was a spectacular, beautiful way to spend the morning. Now I'm back in my apartment, hot shower under my belt, and am trying to get "stuff" done. Instead, I keep looking at all the photos I shot on the trail.
