Find the Bluest Lake Ever at Mount Rainier National Park
want to find a magical blue lake? Well, you gotta hike Emmons Moraine Trail at Mount Rainier National Park! It is super easy trail to get to this lake until you have to scramble to get to the bottom and to the lake. The trail starts out in a windy, cool forest filled with little surprise waterfalls along the way. The forest opens up into an awe inspiring view of the park with Mount Rainier peakin’ in all it’s glory. Once you reach a wooden bridge and cross the river you will go up a steep little section and then you will reach the top and overlook this beautiful, milky blue lake. Fork off the main Emmons Moraine Trail (or keep going to find some glaciers and more views) but we decided to head down to the lake for swimming and picnic-ing. It is VERY rocky and quite a scramble to get down to this lake, so be very careful and watch your footing. There was a small group already down there swimming, but they were finishing up, and we had the WHOLE LAKE TO OURSELVES! It was stunning. Completely beautiful and breathtaking.
IF YOU DECIDE TO SWIM HERE BE SURE YOU BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL.
