The trail to Lila Lake is the very language of summer in the Washington high country: granite ridges, blue sky wide as a cathedral ceiling, and alpine lakes cupped like jewels between mountains. The approach is long enough to settle into a rhythm — conversation comes and goes, footsteps soften, the day opens like a story being told.
We’ll climb to Rachel Lake first — a classic in its own right — and then continue upward into open country, where the peaks present themselves in vast, layered panorama. Lila Lake rests like a secluded chalice of sky and stone. If the sunlight is warm, you may hear your name whispered by the water — the invitation to wade in, even if just ankle-deep.
Bring lunch, layers for the ridge wind, and plenty of water. This is a summer day in the alpine, simple and profound.
Afterward, we’ll gather at Dru Bru at Snoqualmie Pass for a refreshing beer or hot cocoa — sitting picnic-table-style with tired legs and full hearts, mountain air still clinging to us.
