Home Sweet......Home Lake

 
The Home Lake Trek from the Dosewallips side of Constance Pass is not for anyone who hates to climb. This was a tough route to say the least. 8.5 miles from Dose Forks Campground and 13.5 miles from our parking spot. Over 5000 ft of elevation gain, 95% of that in the last 5-6 miles, up to the high point , then a drop of over 1000 ft into Home Lake.  A 27 mile round trip.
We lucked out with the weather not a cloud in the sky for 4 days. Good Brookie fishing at Home Lake too! Lots of wild flowers and an excellent campsite with access to the lake for a quick dip.
