Blue Lake
Blue Lake is a stunning Summer hike, but short enough it will not take up your entire day. Blue Lake sits around 6200 feet and you could easily spend an entire afternoon sunning on its shoreline, picnicking or documenting the changing water color. On the way up the views are spectacular and feel reminiscent of hiking around Glacier National Park.
From one moment to the next the water appears a deep aquamarine or a milky blue. Due to lack of planning on my part I found out my husband's t-shirts are a good alternative to maternity tops. Although I have a Take a Hike t-shirt of my own, it currently does not fit so I appreciated being able to wear his.
