Lake 22

Trail description

A 3.9 km climb with about 430 m of ascent from the Lake Twenty Two trailhead on the Mountain Loop Highway to Lake Twenty-Two in Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. The trail follows Twenty-Two Creek the whole way, climbing steadily but not steeply through old-growth forest and across a large talus slope. The lake lies in a glacier-carved basin on the north flank of Mount Pilchuck, is about 16 m (53 ft) deep, and has a 1.6 km loop trail around its shore. The basin is a Research Natural Area set aside in 1947, so camping and campfires are not allowed, and a Recreation Pass is required at the trailhead.
