It was a long day, but worth the views at Lake Aloha. Towards the evening, the clouds began rolling into Lake Aloha from the south, eventually obscuring the night sky. The good weather remained on Sunday with a somewhat overcast sky. It did snow and hail for a few minutes by the time we reached Echo Lake on the way out, but it was temporary. By the time we reached the trailhead parking lot, all the snow which accumulated on Friday had melted away.
And to end the trip on a good note, as we were walking up the hill to the road/trail, a pair of AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters flew over Lower Echo Lake heading north, followed shortly by a pair of UH-1 Hueys.
Some photos below. Enjoy!
