Let's explore the Lake 22 trailhead, which is considered one of the more popular hikes located in the Mt Baker region of Washington state. Lake 22 is a relatively short 5.4 mile round trip hike with an elevation gain of 1350ft, which is an excellent hike in Washington for beginners.

The drive to Lake 22 trail takes about 1 - 1.5 hours from Seattle. Under normal circumstances you will require a Northwest Forest Pass, however their currently not requiring any specific parking permits at this time.

Parking can be a little challenging depending on what time you arrive. The average hiker generally starts at ~9am.

We arrived at the trailhead at ~10am and we ended up having to park towards the entrance of the turn-in. If you're unable to find a parking spot in the main parking lot, just drive a little bit across the street to the adjacent parking area.

The hike towards Lake 22 from the start of the trail should take you about 1.5 - 2 hours. Hiking Lake 22 is pretty easy and is suitable for everyone of all ages.

Once you arrive at the lake, depending on how far you decide to venture out, really take caution on where you step. Some of the snow can be as high as 5 - 6 feet from the ground, and the snow may break on you resulting in you sinking pretty deep. Don't lose your footing and be mindful of the ground you step on!

Other than that, take your time to enjoy the surroundings of Lake 22. Look at the mountains to see the many small waterfalls coming down the side of the mountain as a result of all of the snow that's melting from the summit of the mountain.
