Hiking in Washington State - Hiking the Diablo Lake Trail

We hiked the Diablo Lake Trail in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. This trail will take you to the bottom of the Ross Lake Dam. To get to the trailhead you will drive up the North Cascade Highway in Washington State and drive cross the Diablo Dam. The trail runs along the west side of Diablo Lake.
