Join us for a beautiful hike at Lake Serene and enjoy the final days of summer! This is a moderate/hard hike with steep incline and rocky terrain so please come prepared. It takes about 5-6 hours; it's 8 miles out and back with a total of 2700ft elevation gain. We'll be taking a detour to view Bridal Veil Falls midway to Lake Serene before continuing on. Once we get to the lake we'll take a longer rest at Lunch Rock and take in the views. Depending on temps, you might even take a quick dip in the lake! We will meet at the Lake Serene/Bridal Veil Falls parking lot/trailhead at 47.809164,-121.574026 at 8am, do some intros, and hit the trail at 8:15am. A Northwest Forest pass is required to park!
