I went way out to I-90 Exit 47 this morning to hike to Annette Lake and I am glad I did.  It was a beautiful day and I was first up the trail so I did not see anyone until I started back down.  Even then I doubt I saw a grand total of a dozen other lucky hikers.

What a beautiful trail, through mostly second growth forest the entire way.  Plenty of peek-a-boo views of Humpback Mountain, which is immediately west of Annette Lake:

There is a nice little waterfall not far from the trail head:

And everyone likes the little log bridge:

When you get up to the lake you are standing underneath Silver Peak:

Great hike, about 7.3 miles round trip, another step towards getting into shape.
