Mount Defiance Trail via Ira Spring Trail and Mason Lake in Alpine Lakes Wilderness
The Mount Defiance Trail is a challenging yet rewarding hike within Washington’s Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Starting with steep switchbacks, the trail weaves through lush forests before offering a break at the serene Mason Lake, surrounded by evergreen peaks and often reflecting the sky. The final ascent to Mount Defiance is demanding but culminates in panoramic views of rugged peaks, valleys, and, on clear days, even Mount Rainier. #Hike #Mountain #Lake #Forest #Nature
