One of my favorite hikes in the Cascades is Lake Dorothy. A fairly easy hike, one you can do with kids, and yet many enjoyable moments on the way to the lake and at the lake. There are rivers washing over granite rock, exposed by years of being washed down by icy cold water from the lakes. At the lake, you can look out accross the water toward the far peaks, cool you feet in the water and even catch some trout. It's a great place to bring a picnic lunch.

The water is very clear, and fish are skimming the water a little farther out.

On the way up to the lake, taking time to view the river.

Still snow on the peaks in September.

That water is dangerous to stand by without a life preserver on. Do you want to ban that footbridge Ian? ;) How often should it be tested?

Could be sharks in there. Dorothy might have a bite Ian.
