Bluff Lake Trail and Clear Lake Campground

Doug, Naomi, Ryan, Bob, Alex, Tara, Carolyn and myself hiked Bluff Lake trail which is located near Packwood, WA. We didn't see a single person on the trail ... no cars at the trailhead. This was nice because I was looking for a little used trail.

The trail ended up having a bit too much snow on it. It was hard to follow, so we ended up turning back earlier than I had envisioned. I think it is worth returning to later in the year. With more elevation, I think we would have had great views of the surrounding area. We had a couple nice views of Mount Rainier.

Here are two panoramas I took from our campground ...
