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.
