Ross Lake National Recreation Area

We loved exploring all of the wonders of Ross Lake National Recreation Area! From the stunning green waters of Gorge Lake to the beyond worldly hues of Diablo Lake to the intense blues of Ross Lake, they will forever be in our hearts from our adventure in the Home of the American Alps!

Gorge Lake

Diablo Lake is beyond stunning? And very windy today.

We hiked the Ross Lake Trail. We met some friends on the trail carrying a metal canoe, multiple coolers and all of their gear. On our way back up, we passed them again as they were still enjoying their journey downwards … and they had taken a pause to enjoy a refreshment of a tall-boy can of Rainer beer. My only regret was not getting a photo of them!
