Tuck and Robin Lakes Hike

This last weekend we took a hiking trip out near the cabin.  On Friday night, Chris, Nell, Aaron, Suzy and I met out at exit 34 then drove up to the cabin.  Chris and Nell and I got there too late to eat at Rhodies but oh well.  We had a nice time up at the cabin even though it was dark by the time we got there.  These pictures are from the next morning.  This is Chris and Xavi:

Meghan and Lea joined us a little after 8:00am.  We were still asleep when they got there.  Here is Suzy and Chris and Meghan:

We drove along the Fish Creek Road from the cabin to the Tucquala Meadows trailhead.  There were tons of cars there.  A woman borrowed my NW forest pass.

Meghan does the funny dance:

We hiked up 6.5 miles or so along the deception pass trail up to the turnoff to tuck and robin lakes then up to tuck lake.  We decided to make camp at Tuck lake and just day-hike up to Robin lakes in the morning.  Here are Chris and Nell setting up camp on some rocks with a great view of Mt. Daniel:

Here is Mt. Daniel:

Aaron and Suzy set up their tent on some rocks:

Xavi had a big day, here he is sleeping.

This is a picture of Tuck Lake.  There was a huge group of 18 high school kids (future frat brothers of america) camped at tuck lake drinking and smoking weed and yelling all night.  It was pretty funny.

Early in the morning, we hiked up to Robin lakes.  It involved a little bit of routefinding.  Here you can see Meghan, Lea, and Aaron on the trail.

This is just a tree:

Once you get near the top, there is a big rock scramble.  I love this place -- I think it's really pretty.

Here is lower Robin Lake.  I think these are some of the prettiest lakes around.  It kind of reminds me of the Enchantments a bit.

Here we are:

There were about 15 goats at Robin Lakes.

And finally some flowers:

It was a really fun trip.  We had amazing weather and it was cool to get such a big group.  Often it's just Meghan and I, sometimes Chris and Nell come along, but this time we had a really big turnout.  That made it fun.  It was also great to stay at the cabin the night before.  That made things really easy and extended the trip a little.

We hiked down the next day then went to the little burger stand on the way out of Roslyn before going our separate ways.
