This winter, my graduate school did an exchange with the North Cascades Institute. We were treated with the pleasure of staying on Diablo lake for the weekend and doing a little exploring of the area. A group of us decided to make the short (4.5 mile) hike to Pyramid Lake. It was a nice leg stretcher following up a babbling creek through some nice sections of forest. The lake itself was rather small and totally frozen, but offered some nice views of pyramid mountain in the background. This is not a hike I would drive out of my way for, but it was a nice walk, especially for the winter.
