Lily & Lizard Lakes

Trip

Day Hike - Lizard & Lily Lakes Loop

A loop hike in the Chuckanuts.

  • Moderate
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 10.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,900 ft

To be arranged.

The plan is to hike to Lizard Lake via the Alternate Incline trail, continue on to North Butte (including a brief off-trail excursion to the high point of Blanchard Hill for those interested), Lily Lake and (time and energy permitting) Oyster Dome.  I’m estimating 7 miles of travel and about 2,000’ of elevation gain.  Pace will be a slow moderate.
