Highlights

This trip gives you a choice. For an easier hike, follow the very popular trail to attractive Lena Lake, a lower-elevation destination that is open for most of the year. For more dramatic scenery, continue on a rougher trail that takes you into the high country around spectacular Upper Lena Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in the Olympic Mountains. Hikers with children younger than teenagers should stop at Lena Lake.
