The Blue Lake Hiker Trail is a path dedicated only to hikers. The trail follows a deep canyon along Blue Lake Creek, going through a forested area, taking you directly to Blue Lake. The canyon is formed by a wall of basalt that was created by volcanic eruptions. Though the trails in this area are not so popular, this one is in good condition, but it can be challenging due to steep side slopes, cliff exposures, and rock stairways.

Tatoosh Peak provides stunning, expansive views of the surrounding valleys and distant mountain ranges, such as the Cascade Range and the rolling hills of the Puget Sound region. The peak is a prominent feature on the ridge, surrounded by alpine meadows with wildflowers and berries; a special and peaceful place to appreciate Mount Rainier views.

A captivating subalpine lake nestled on the northern slope of Unicorn Peak within the Tatoosh Range. Set within the expansive meadow known as 'The Bench,' this stunning lake derives its name from the flat area surrounding it. Mount Rainier looms in the backdrop.

Starting from the Reflection Lakes parking area, follow the Wonderland Trail along the lakeshore, then transition to the Lower Lakes Trail at the first junction. As you continue, stay right onto the High Lakes Trail, where you'll be treated to a serene journey, passing by charming lakes and gentle stream crossings.

Take a quick detour along the Mazama Ridge Trail to reach the captivating Faraway Rock overlook. From this vantage point, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the shimmering Lake Louise below and the majestic Tatoosh Ridge to the south.
