Some 2000 feet above sea level in the North Cascades is a reservoir lookout point oft used for engagements, proposals, and elopements. During fairer weather, it’s easy to see why: bright, electric-blue water, emerald islands, and views for days.
One weekend we took our new all-season tires for a day-long spin into the mountains. We arrived at Lake Diablo just as afternoon light began to fade and snow began to fall. Nervous we’d soon be trapped, we budgeted 8 minutes for a quick photo op and immediately descended to the sounds of Taylor Swift’s folklore album.
