Enchanting Alpine Lake Camping

Day 1 of LDW we camped at Eightmile Lake, a section of the enchantments decimated by wildfires two years back (this is where our permits were for). We made the best of it and had a great time, but had an exponentially better experience when we packed up and continued on to higher elevation to reach an untouched alpine lake, free of fire devastation. Its heartbreaking to return home to news of 330,000 acres going up in flames across the gorgeous state of Washington. Wishing everyone well that is and has been impacted and hopeful of the containment of these fires so these magical places don’t end up all looking like Eightmile lake years down the road
