Icicle Gorge Trail

Ok, so we are back to the vacation pictures.  Glen and I decided to hike an easier trail, so we decided on the Icicle Gorge Trail.  It is rated at a whopping 2 out of 5 on difficulty.

As you can see the tail was so much smoother and easier to hike.

The layers in the rock were simply amazing.

Since the hiking was nice and easy we could enjoy the views.

Glen decided to check and see how cold the water was.  He said it was cold but felt really good.  I am anti-cold water, so I did not soak my feet.

Again, fantastic views.

Another selfie 🙂

Stuart Lake

After hiking to Surprise Lake, and the excess physical exertion that it took, we decided to hike a trail that was only rated 3 out of 5 in difficulty.  So, Stuart Lake it was.  On the plus side, Stuart Lake is one of Washington state’s most beautiful lakes.

Right away it was a much easier trail to hike.  It was still rocky, but much easier to navigate.

The views were also amazing making hiking long miles so worth the effort.

Glen and I both decided we could live out the rest of our lives with this view.  Now just to win the lottery :o)

Stuart Lake did not disappoint.  It was absolutely beautiful.  This was our lunch spot.

No trip is complete without a selfie.  Nice backdrop with Stuart Lake.
