Washington Trip Report part 36 - Gorge Lake
Continuing eastward on my way through North Cascades National Park....
There are several hydroelectric dams on the river along the highway. This one is Gorge Dam.


The Gorge Overlook Trail is a short walk that offers nice views of the dam and lake.

There were a few birds along the trail, including this Varied Thrush.






There was a rock wall by the trail that had an assortment of stuff growing on it.





This is Gorge Creek, flowing into Gorge Lake. You can sort of see the waterfall above flowing down into the creek too.


Another waterfall - Gorge Creek Falls

The water from the falls has cut a channel through the rock. It is hard to see how deep it is in this photo.
