This tucked in a ridge high above the hustle and bustle of Stevens Pass. Following a steep jeep track, the hike is not exactly a nice trail experience. But the views of the busy pass are good, and Skyline makes a nice leg stretcher if you're passing through. In summer, wildflowers brighten the way, and huckleberries add an incentive to visit in fall. And if you follow the jeep track beyond the lake, you'll add good views of Nason Ridge to your hike.
