Surprised by elevation (4,400 ft.), forgot to check b/4, so nights were colder than we expected. Remote campground, but worth the long winding road & 5 miles of gravel & potholes. Mt. Adams often hid from view by clouds, but the few early morning it was viable were glorious.
Lake was too cold to swim 65 degrees, but wished I had brought wet suit, which might have made it possible to get in.
We drove 5 additional miles to Killen Creek Trail & hiked 7 miles r/t to junction of the PCT & still all snow above this point. Beautiful views of Adams & Rainier & lots of wildflowers.

Loved it here! Most of the road from Randle is paved, about 6 miles is gravel with some potholes. Highly recommend the Takh Takh Meadow trail!

Beautiful campground - you can’t beat the view. Be ready for mosquitoes and deer flies in June/July.

Great place to camp in September. Except for the invasion of daddy long leg spiders on a tent! Lake is beautiful.
