Hiking and scrambling to Colonial Basin in Washington's North Cascades National Park - Join Emily, Tim, Mer and I for an exhilarating trailhead to Colonial Glacier adventure in North Cascades National Park as we hike to the stunning Colonial Basin, offering jaw-dropping views high above the turquoise waters of Diablo Lake. Starting from the Pyramid Lake Trailhead along Highway 20 just east of Newhalem, this challenging yet rewarding North Cascades hike gains over 5,000 feet through lush old-growth forests, past serene Pyramid Lake, and into the dramatic alpine basin surrounded by jagged mountains like Colonial Peak and the entire Snowfield Range.
