You can make the decent to her shore from here, but I chose to head up to the Lookout. Hidden Lake is a gem, perfectly positioned to wow and surprise an unsuspecting hiker. We traversed up a crevasse and through some giant boulders to where the lake finally showed her pretty blues.
Then come a few small tarns surrounded in patches of snow. The lookout shows its face in the distance in the most intimidating way because the first glimpse reveals to you just how far away and high up on a summit it still is. However, glimpses of your destination will keep you going. By now you have traversed a large section of this 9 mile roundtrip journey and you are probably feeling the change in altitude. The last section of this hike is not for the weak. Not to mention the many sparkling waterfalls you will cross as Sibley Creek slithers around you. There are panoramic views of rugged PNW terrain for as far as the eyes could see.
It’s beautiful, but things are just about to get better as the skies open up and you are zigzagging through intense green meadows with wildflowers of every kind inviting you to almost frolic your way up to the grand middle section of the Hidden Lake Trail.īy now you are meandering through one of the most scenic boulder fields I have ever laid eyes on. The first leg of your journey gets you to work right away as you climb switchbacks through the forest. Like every hike there is a beginning a middle and an end, but this one has well defined chapters. In the back country of Marblemount, Wa is a long, steep trail that leads you on an a painstaking adventure you will never forget.
