The Blue Lake trailhead is located just off Highway 20 near Washington Pass, after a short 2.2-mile hike and 1,100 foot elevation gain you come across the entrance to the alpine lake. Hiking into the lake in the middle of October, one notices the golden larch all ablaze in fall color.

This cropped photo is entered into the “Nature & Landscapes” category and shared with the BetterPhoto Club: “Photographing the Northwest -- Hiking Club.”
