Lake Serene Hike

As a first hike of the season, BSA troop 655 took a 50-miler preparation hike to Lake Serene in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest on Highway 2 near Index, WA.  We enjoyed great weather and enjoyed seeing the Lower Bridal Veil Falls, a rather frozen Lake Serene, snow-covered Mount Index, and an abandoned copper mine that the boys thought was cool, yet eerie.  Pictures are available here.


Lake Serene and much of Mount Index remains frozen during an early-season hike.
