Diablo Lake Sunset

I have always just sped by this lake on my way back from the North Cascades, but yesterday on the way back from a hike and seeing the parking lot empty, I decided to spend a couple of hours exploring this iconic overlook. I love the fjord like quality of this lake and the teal color of the water seals the deal with me! With the recent hot weather and rapidly melting snow, the water is flowing very good in the North Cascades now and it seems like every quarter of a mile there is a seasonal waterfall, some spilling water directly onto the road!
