Things are heating up and summer is upon us! Many of you have probably heard of Heather Lake’s famous neighbor Lake 22, but Heather Lake deserves all the praise as well. One of our favorite ‘effort-to-reward’ ratio hikes. Hope to see you there!

Once we reach the alpine basin, if the group is feeling adventurous we can to do the optional 0.8-mile loop all the way around the lake shoreline for some incredible 360° views of Mount Pilchuck’s cliffs. #brewtrails2026 #pnwhiking #hikingmeetup #seattlemeetup #springhiking
