Reply to comment by ProFessoRKins in One of my favorite shots from my first time in the North Cascades. Diablo Lake was spectacular. by sharhole

There's Colonial Creek Campground on the shores of Diablo Lake. We've stayed there a few times (and we consider it a "fancier" campground since it has water spigots and flush toilets; we usually camp where there's only vault toilets and we have to pack in our own water). Also around an hour east of Diablo Lake and on the other side of the pass is Winthrop, a cute Western themed town.

Thank you for the description - I like the water option. A colleague recommended Winthrop some time ago. I didn't realize they were so close. Thank you!

if youre into astrophotography (or just general stargazing/ meteor chasing) Winthrop is rated the darkest town in washington state. I get AMAZING pics there. literally no light pollution
