undefined Itinerary

Begin your day by driving to the Diablo Lake Overlook, where you can witness the brilliant turquoise color of the lake. The overlook is located at milepost 132 on the North Cascades Highway. Take a moment to capture the stunning view of the lake and the surrounding mountains, and breathe in the fresh mountain air.

After taking in the view, head down to the lake and explore the area on foot. You can take a short hike on the Thunder Knob Trail, which is a 3.6-mile round trip hike that offers beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. Along the way, you'll pass through old-growth forests and meadows filled with wildflowers.

End your day with a relaxing picnic by the lake. Bring some snacks and a blanket, and find a spot along the shore to enjoy the peacefulness of the lake and the sound of the water. If you're feeling adventurous, you can rent a kayak or a paddleboard from the nearby Ross Lake Resort and explore the lake by water.
