Lena Lake 7.20.2014

Our first hike in the Olympic Peninsula! We had a great time with this one. It is listed as a difficult hike, but everyone agreed that it was fairly easy. Perhaps, they were talking about the 14 mile trek to the upper Lena Lake or the caves, The Brothers. We had the opportunity to run into 3 people who worked for the Washington Trails Association. They informed us that the river that is fed by Lena Lake was obstructed by an avalanche and now runs underground. So, we followed our ears to the place it came out. Super cool spot. Little chilly for a swim this time, but overall an amazing day.

Lake Margaret 7.13.2014

We headed to the dry forest for this one. We started out this hike with the wrong trailhead. The sign was a bit misleading. You have to hike up the road about 100 yards to find it. We spent a couple hours sniffing our an animal path confused and frustrated. The climb was nice. Not too difficult. The temps were around 90 degrees on the ascent and 50 once we peaked and headed down the other side to the lake. The snow was a welcome change of pace, but it became frustrating when we couldn't find the trail. Upon reaching the lake we were mobbed by mosquitos. Then, I realized that the dog had a torn pad on her paw and had to carry her 70lbs whiny body down the mountain. :( Beauty 7/10. Exercise 6/10

Lake 22 7.6.2014

This hike was surprisingly similar to last week's. Just like Bridal Veil Falls it had plenty of waterfalls and finished with an amazing lake. Lake 22, however, also had some incredible ice caves this time of year, and we remembered to take our swim gear. The water at the lake is snow fed and thus a chilly 45 degrees. The mountain surrounds the lake in a crescent and towers another ~800ft+ overhead. Be sure to stop about 3/4 the way to the lake. Off to the left of the trail you can see some amazing water Difficulty 6/10 Beauty 9/10 Famished from the hike, I stuffed myself with a Bent Burger.
