Lake Serene is an alpine lake nestled in the
Cascade mountains of Washington State. Lake
Serene Trail is a popular hike within the Mount
Baker Snoqualamie Forest. The trailhead can be
accessed off of Mount Index Road near Stevens
Pass. Make sure to get an early start in order to
get a parking spot at the trailhead. What the trail
lacks in length, it makes up for in elevation gain.
The first mile and a half winds across a well
manicured and slightly inclined path, at the end of
which you can choose to go another half-mile
(one-way) on Bridal Velil Falls Trail to Bridal Veil Falls
or another two miles to Lake Serene. The extra
mile is certainly worth the side trip to see the falls.
One you have returned to Serene Lake Trail, the
two miles to the lake traverse a large climb,
through a series of long, wooden steps, rocky
passages, and switchbacks. Approximately 1.4
miles into the lake trail, you will encounter a very
steep grade. Once you reach the lake, you will be
rewarded by the stunning blue lake surrounded by
high ridges and remnants of the previous winter
snowfall. Find a spot along this gorgeous lake to
eat lunch and take a rest. From the lake, you can
also cross a log bridge and take a short trail that
wiltake you to a large, smooth rock named
"Lunch Rock", where you will find people relaxing
and jumping into the lake, When you are ready,
return via the way you came.

We will be meeting by the trailhead at 8AM and we will wait about 15 minutes and show up to begin the hike.
