Hike 10/18 Merritt Lake
6 miles, 2000 feet elevation gain.
Trip description
Let's head over east of Stevens Pass to visit this pretty (and relatively uncrowded) alpine lake set under Nason Ridge. The trail climbs steadily through forest, emerging at the sparkling lake at just over 5000 feet in elevation. Touches of fall colors will delight, the bugs will be long gone, and the crisp air will make for pleasant uphill hiking. If we have good weather, there's an extra 500-foot climb above the lake to reach some grand panoramic views of the central Cascades.
