Cutthroat Lake
Cutthroat Lake is a relatively easy hike located in the North Cascades with a beautiful lake as your end point. We ventured out early in the morning and as our reward we had the trail and then lake to ourselves. The North Cascades is one of my favorite places to hike because there are so many different hikes, the trails never seem to be overrun like they sometimes are along the I-90 corridor.
Cutthroat Lake is part of the longer Cutthroat Pass trail. Although, I have never been all the way up it, I have heard there are gorgeous views and beautiful wildflowers along the way during the Summer time.
Stopping at the marshy shoreline for a few photos.
