The Blue Lake Trail in North Cascades National Park is extremely popular in the fall, when colors really add an accent to the beauty of the lake. The glacial water is a clear, translucent blue and in the morning the water is calm, exhibiting surreal reflections of the surrounding mountains and trees. This beautiful scene can be found by hiking a bit further than most visitors would do along the lake edge and I was able to get a quiet, yet stunning visual of Blue Lake.
