View from the Boat
On Friday Jan and I drove all the way up to Diablo Lake to do the boat tour and lunch I booked for us a few months ago. It was a great outing. It is a 2.5 hour drive but a nice drive, with much of it through forest and in view of towering, snow-capped peaks.
Diablo Lake is almost teal colored thanks (we learned) to various minerals carried into the water as glaciers on the surrounding peaks melt and run down into the lake. The entire area is stunning.
The Boat
On the way back we stopped at the North Cascades National Park Visitor Center and I got a mug, a couple of postcards, and a T-shirt. This place is so outstanding.
Jan had a great time and the lunch afterward was tasty – salad, soup, and bread, all from local ingredients, expertly prepared. I give this boat tour 5 stars out of 5.
