2018 Vacation - Day 2

Day 2 began at Winthrop, WA and ended in Burlington, WA. The route between the two is the absolutely stunning North Cascades Highway. I have wanted to go on this road ever since I found out it existed. There are plenty of pull-offs to admire the scenery and we made good use of them. Photos below.

 Heading into the North Cascades Highway!!!

A BIG snowbank off the side of the road. 

A short hike at Canyon Creek trail.

Ross Lake. This is just a very small finger of the lake. The majority is north of the highway, and the lake extends into Canada.

Ross Lake Dam

Back on the road

Diablo Lake. There are no words.

Someone with their own little island.

Then down a long hill to the water's edge.
