We hiked to Soda Peaks Lake in Washington’s Trapper Creek Wilderness on Sunday, August 30. Starting from the trailhead near the Government Mineral Springs Campground, the hike totaled about 10 miles round trip and 2,700 vertical feet.
Although the parking lot was full when we left, we encountered few people on the trail. Overall conditions were perfect - blue sky, no bugs, and a pristine wilderness area with old growth trees.
Soda Peaks Lake itself is at the hike’s highest point within a forested mountainous bowl.
