Winthrop, WA
Blue Lake (North Cascades)
Blue Lake sits at the base of Liberty Bell Mountain and Early Winters Spires at approximately 6,300 feet elevation. The relatively short 4.4-mile round trip hike gains about 1,000 feet and passes through subalpine meadows. The lake reflects the surrounding granite walls and is surrounded by larches that turn gold in autumn.
