October 7th, organized by LuLu, we 12 people in 4 cars, heading to North Cascades National Park. started 2 nights car camping and 3 days hiking trip. First destination is Blue Lake. As planned, first day each car went each own way, as long as we meet at Lone Fir Camping site at 5:30pm. Our car arrived at boarder about 7:50am, and passed around 8:40, Without Nexus card, it is not bad for a long weekend. We stopped by Costco Wholesale (4125 Arctic Avenue, Bellingham) filled gas, and went to close by Fred Meyer (1225 W Bakerview Rd, Bellingham) for food. From Pacific Truck Crossing, driving on I-5 and Hwy 20, it is total 230km to trail head. We arrived at blue lake trail head at 12:30. It is only a short 7 km round trip. It started to snow; we got the first taste of snow of the year. The desire to see the golden Larch, drove us to hike quickly through the forest. By the time we arrived the lake, the snow has been over two inches thick. The lake is beautiful, the mountain around the lake was faded in the snow. Still, the gold larch with its bright color satisfied our eyes. |
