  • Moderate
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 10.0 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 1,530 ft
  • Pace: 2 mph

We will do a counterclockwise loop, hitting Lizard Lake first. On the way to Lizard Lake, we will make a side trip to the North Butte Overlook for views of Mount Baker and the Salish Sea. Next we will go to Lily Lake. We will finish off with a trip to the Oyster Dome, offering more views of the Salish Sea. 

We will hike at a moderate pace, with plenty of breaks for site seeing and food.

This trip will go rain or shine.

Also, due to high risk individuals in my family, I kindly ask that all participants be fully vaccinated. Thank you for your cooperation.

More details to be provided later.

Meet at Upper Blanchard Parking Lot at 8AM
