Lila Lake is a stunning destination relatively close to Seattle but not heavily visited. With the "mile from hell" to Rachel Lake out of the way, the rest of the journey is relatively tame. By mid-September, the bugs should be mostly at bay. We may even see fall colors by this time.
For those who are interested, we will take side trips to Rampart Lakes and/or Alta Mountain.
This trip may be canceled or modified if anticipated weather or trail conditions are unsafe during the trip dates.
