USA Summit Peak/Lake

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This is a great, gentle hike to Summit Lake through beautiful forests and wildflowers in the spring. Once at the lake hike around and climb up the ridge to the summit. It gives great compositions of the lake in the foreground of Mt. Rainier or of the summit itself.

Photography Tips

Plan for early after the snow melts to enjoy the avalanche lilies as you approach the lake. Bring a polarizing filter but not too much so the sky doesn't go too dark.
