Thank you so much for the support.
So this video is another film that details “Tips and Everything You’ll Need to Know” to hike or backpack to Spade Lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness of Washington State. I made a similar video about a month ago for the Enchantments, and to my surprise it went over very well and I received a lot of positive feedback on it - So I thought I’d make this one to go with it.
In this video, I’ll discuss how we tackled the trip and everything in between. This includes where we began, where we ended, what trails to take, mileages, elevations, campsites, etc. etc.. you get the point! I hope it’s helpful for anyone planning a trip here, as it’s a spectacular area and I highly recommend it to check out for yourself sometime.
Here’s some quick stats on the trip that I tracked along the way:
-Salmon La Sac Trailhead to Waptus Lake: 9.28 miles hiked in 5 hours 49 minutes with a vertical ascent of 1,149 feet.
-Waptus Lake to Spade Lake: 6.4 miles hiked in 4 hours 50 minutes with a vertical ascent of 4,261 feet.
-Spade Lake Camp to Venus Lake: 1.4 miles in 1 hour 0 minutes with a vertical ascent of 614 feet.
