Spider Meadows

If this post looks familiar, I did this same hike just under two years ago with my dad. This year, I intended to go up Friday and make it up to Lyman Lakes, but was ill on Friday. Instead, I made the trip up Sunday with a few friends for a long day hike. We ran into my original hiking buddies, Tom and Joe, on the way up the trail, and they thanked me for the recommendation!

The day hike turned out to be about a 13-mile hike, and we were all dog tired by the end of it. We recharged our batteries by stopping at Lake Wenatchee on the way back to Seattle for a beer and a swim.
