The Hike to Lake Dorothy

Posted on June 1, 2016 by admin

The hike to Lake Dorothy was a fairly easy and beautiful hike on a nice Washington day.

1.5 miles up to a gorgeous lake on the top of a mountain, perfect for a morning hike and a noon-time swim. A Discover Pass is required for parking.

The hike is just before Stevens Pass Mountain Resort heading East on Highway 2 from Seattle. I don’t advise going on a Sunday, as traffic from the Pass is without-fail horrendous.

The snow is still melting from the heights of the mountains, trickling into streams and waterfalls fit for fairies feeding into the lake.

We spent a night in Denver, CO, where we left Jen with some friends, and then rolled northwest to cut around the mountains and make our way into Utah. After a week in the Uinta National Forest, near Hebor City, UT, we headed to Vegas.

We stayed at the Circus Circus, the same hotel Hunter S. Thompson stayed in “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”. Our experience was a bit different.

Barnardsville: Big Ivy & Cyanite Mining

Location: Barnardsville, NC

I met some friends at Free Dead Friday at the One Stop in Asheville, and we decided to head to the Spring Grassroots Festival back in Shakori Hills. We went and had a groovy time and headed back to Asheville.

A bunch of us met up and spent a night camping on the Appalachian Trail along the mighty French Broad in Hot Springs, NC, and then went up to Barnardsville for some camping and cyanite mining in Big Ivy. We tanned some deer hides, and then Dylan and I headed up to Kentucky.
