I enjoy fishing, trail running, backpacking, whitewater rafting, back-country skiing, camping and spending time with my family.

One of my favorite hikes when I lived in Bellingham. The best views I witnessed up there was right after the first dusting of snow but the fall colors were still bright orange and red.. Very beautiful scene!

One of my favorites since I was a kid. Have many great memories hiking, fishing, swimming. Also accessed relatively easily through the Lake Lillian back door route. Rampart Lakes along with Lila lake and Alta Mountain show spectacular colors in the fall.

Great write up! Will second the boat/kayak if you intend to fish. Also there are some other small lakes in the area if takhlakh is too busy. As well as many good day hikes.
