Crystal Lake 07/16/2013



I went hiking up to Crystal Lake today.  I took the Silver Creek Trail and then met up with the Pacific Crest Trail.   You can also drive on highway 410 and get there from the other side.  




This in junction bewteen the Crystal Lakes Trail and the Pacific Crest Trail.  The Crystal Lakes Trail goes up and over the ridge.




Mount Rainier looking splendid.




Blue Butterflys!




This is Upper Crystal Lake, I didn't have tome to go to Lower Crystal Lake today.  The bugs were quite bad.




Crystal Lakes is in Mount Rainier National Park.  Here is a camp site. 
                                                        



I almost stepped on a frog.




Some salamanders. 




There was no point in trekking to the lake if you don't want to swim.  It was cold, I will have to come back when it's really hot outside.
