For those who feel the confines of city swimming as strongly as they feel the mild humidity within it, our area has great spots for outdoor swimming that don’t require venturing too far out of the city limits. But if you are also deterred by the thought of hiking, look no further than Snoqualmie’s Mirror Lake. A pristine lake only two hours from Seattle, it’s as clear as crystal, surrounded by ample natural beauty. Sweet camping spots are available for both the avid outdoorsman and those who want the feeling of getting away with only the mildest of hikes.The very brief hike (about a mile) has no challenging vertical aspects, which is ridiculous for how undisturbed and secluded it feels. As beautiful as our fair city is, there’s no replacing that feeling of unzipping your tent in the morning and seeing a lake so calm it earns the name “Mirror.”
