Lower Stevens Lake

"I90 had a massive 4 hour traffic jam and we just happened to find this trail off the only exit we could reach. What a lucky find! This was a great hike and beautiful scenery! Can be challenging if you're not a regular hiker but well worth it! This is definitely a diamond in the rough!"

"Easy access to railhead from freeway. Trailhead has ample parking and a restroom. The hike is steep at times with somewhat technical sections. Depending upon your path you’ll pass at least one waterfall. The lower lake is beautiful with plenty of shoreline to find an area to yourself. Will return to explore more."

"Not a hike for the weary. If you're an experienced hiker, it's a solid trail with some good incline and slightly technical at times. If you're not an experienced hiker, bring plenty of water and snacks. Please pack out your trash with you too. This is not a beginner trial to hike. It starts out with a incline and the grade only increases to some parts of the trail you will need your hands to pull you up as you go. Loose rock along switch backs and plenty of trip hazards from sticks, roots, rocks etc."

"Beautiful lake, good trail in but a little challenging!"

"This is a beautiful place. The first 20 minutes or so when your start the hike it’s a bit boring. Then gets so beautiful all the way up to the lake. The campsites are great! We got lucky and had the whole place to ourselves so our dogs got to run freely so it was perfect. We backpacked there so the hike for us was a bit more slow but great and fast."
