Hiking The Hidden Lake

“Stay close to the serenity of a lake
to meet your own peace of mind.”
- Munia Khan

Hidden Lake Trail

Because of the expected heat, we stayed close and drove to the popular, short Hidden Lake trail on the other side of Lake Wenatchee. After walking through cedars and ferns and sometimes climbing over massive logs, we reached the small, quiet, serene lake, silently mirroring its environment. The lake is stunning!

The next day, it was still hot, so we went back to descend to the camping grounds at Lake Wenatchee to get a view of the volcano mountain Glacier Peak in the distance. Glacier Peak is the most isolated and one of the most active of the five major volcanoes in WA. So glad we came back to witness this impressive and mesmerizing vista!
