3-night camping trip with daily hikes in the North Cascades. Join me to check some epic trails off your bucket list and stay at the iconic diablo lake!
I have a reservation at the Colonial Creek North campground which is right on Diablo Lake. These sites are usually booked well in advance but I stumbled upon a last minute opening 😃 This is NOT backpacking. It is a drive up campsite which will be our home base, and we will do different day hikes from there (1-2 hikes per day depending on difficulty level). I will also be bringing my paddle board for the lake!
Beginners welcome! No camping or backpacking experience required. I have a large tent and some extra camping gear so if you have been wanting to try it but don't have the gear, this would be a perfect opportunity!
