The Blanca Lake Trail is a 13.0 km heavily trafficked out and back trail in the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness that is rated as hard. This trail requires that you climb 30 or so steep switchbacks, but the aqua-green waters of Blanca are framed by Monte Cristo, Columbia, and Keyes peaks. The views on the way up don't disappoint, either!

The first three miles of this trail ruthlessly climb 2,650 feet. Then after a short reprieve on a ridge shrouded in heather meadows, it descends 650 feet to the lake.

Blanca Lake. Columbia Glacier. Wildflowers blooming. Ripe berries. Drive in via Beckler Rd by Skykomish was generally good, 25-30mph in a Honda Fit except for the switchbacks going down toward Blanca Trailhead and the actually 2mi road to the trailhead with a few big potholes. Hike in was the usual 30+ switchback slog, mostly cloudy all the way.

Blanca Lake itself was great, but I fell in love with the nearby, smaller tarns. We could have easily spent a full day or two connecting the nearby ridges - we'll be back for longer trips in the future. Stats
