No. 132 Picture Lake
Picture Lake at Heather Meadows
Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest
Distance from Seattle: 135 miles (2hrs 45min()
MAP IT
The aptly named Picture Lake inside the Mount Baker Snoqualmie National Forest at Heather Meadows offers photographers of all skill levels memorable and stunning images of this nature scape. The 5 acres alpine lake at 4,200 elevation features 360 degree views of mountain back drops, wildflowers and colorful plant foliage and paved path that circles the lake making easily accessible for all visitors to enjoy.
The snow covered cap of Mount Shuksan to the east mirrored in Picture Lake is one of the most photographed mountain scenes in North America. In the morning light you get reflections of Mount Herman from the east side of the lake and in the evening light Mount Shuksan is the centerpiece to this strikingly beautiful landscape. You will find interpretive sign panels and a viewing scope installed during the summer months on a paved viewpoint. A platform on the edge of the lake provides a resting spot.
Bring extra batteries for your camera since the 90 min drive east of Interstate I-5 curves and ascends from the valley floor to the alpine area driving past flowing rivers, cascading creeks and waterfalls just off of the road way. In colder temperatures battery performance is degraded, so by having extra battery and memory cards you will be able to capture the many vistas of the National Forest.
A recreation pass is required in the Heather Meadows Recreation Fee Area

No. 88 Cascade Falls, Moran State Park
Where is Cascade Falls?
Cascade Falls is the second waterfall after Rustic Falls along the Cascade Creek, which runs between Mountain
Lake and Cascade Lake in Moran State Park. Walk 0.9 miles from the
trail head which is located on the east side of Cascade Lake in Moran State
Park Orcas
Island. From the small town of Eastsound head southeast on Olga Road and
it will lead you right into the middle of the Park. After passing
Cascade Lake keep left at the fork in the road for another 1/2 mile and
you will see the parking lot and trail head for Rustic, Cascade, Canyon,
Hidden and Rosario Falls. At about 40 feet tall, Cascade Falls is the largest waterfall in the San Juan Islands. Cascade Creek squiggles down a flume, dropping through a jumble of logs and branches before it veils out over a broad bulbous face into a small grotto lined with several old growth cedar trees. While I certainly don't think the waterfalls of Orcas Island are worth seeing alone (especially considering the cost of the ferry), should one find themselves on the island, the quick walk through the park is worth undertaking.

What can I see and do at Cascade Falls?
The ancient and towering forests keep the Creek and Trail cool and shaded. The giant red cedars and other evergreens that make up the thick canopy are impressive throughout the year. Stroll along the creek side path that connects Mountain Lake to Cascade Lake and enjoy the quiet relaxation afforded by the deep forest.
When is Rustic Falls open?
The Park is open for day use all year long. The campsites and swimming area are open seasonally, as are the park offices. The Falls are at their most active in the winter and spring when the water volume is highest.
How much does Rustic Falls cost?
Moran State Park requires a Discover Pass. You can buy them on a daily basis for $10.00 or for $30.00 you receive an annual Pass. The nearby campgrounds also require an additional fee.
Who can I call if I have more questions?
The Moran State Park Rangers can help you with any questions you might have. (360) 376-2326.
