Experience

Great Area

This is a great hike that is relatively close to the Seattle area.  On this reasonably well maintained wooded trail, you will have many opportunities to take in beautiful territorial views. 

The campground is open from June 15, to October 15.  There are a number of campsites and a toilet at the base of Boulder Lake.  Come early if you plan to camp at this popular area.  Water is available from the lake.
