My wife needed a little break from our rambunctious 6 month old puppy Oakley so I took him on a short 5 mile two night trip to Island lake in the Alpine lakes wilderness off of Snoqualmie pass. This was also my first time in the Cascades because I live so much closer to the Olympics. Both of us had a great time.

He slept under my quilt both nights

My wife and I were there the following weekend.Olallie lake with Rainier in the background on the 11th.
Zoomed in.
It sure was busy on the way down. We counted 122 people and 9 dogs.
