Diablo Dam, North Cascades National Park

Freezing and beautiful! You will see it from the overlook and wonder why it's so empty. That's because the water is absolutely frigid as it's fed by snow melt. I swam in it, as I am use to swimming in the cold if Lake Michigan. It was so much colder! Lol, it was wonderful though.

Diablo lake area has 3 view points:- 1. The Diablo lake trail(around 3.5 miles round trip and 650 feet elevation). In this trail you can see snow covered mountains multiple times and some water stream at the base of the trail). The view of Diablo lake on top is absolutely stunning with mountains on the back. 2. The second point is at the base/starting point of 1st trail. You can see the whole view of the lake from the ground zero. The trail views a birds view of the same lake. 3. Point is the vista point. Here no trail is required and is more like a picnic area with the view of a lake from some height. Parking is usually available as its a moving place. Attaching some photos for reference
