Lake Serene Hike
As a first hike of the season, BSA troop 655 took a 50-miler preparation hike to Lake Serene in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest on Highway 2 near Index, WA.  We enjoyed great weather and enjoyed seeing the Lower Bridal Veil Falls, a rather frozen Lake Serene, snow-covered Mount Index, and an abandoned copper mine that the boys thought was cool, yet eerie.  Pictures are available here.
