Our Trailblazer group was scheduled to hike the Lost Lake trail from Cleator road, but our fearless leader "Pat" had other plans. We would be hiking from the Gates Overlook parking lot instead. Going from the Rock trail one-way to the North Chuckanut trailhead. We did a shuttle for the beginning and ending of our hike. Pat parked his car at the North Chuckanut trailhead parking lot and then he got a ride with the rest of us up the road to Gates Overlook.
What a beautiful day for a hike!

13 of us were happy to hear we would be going...
down the Rock trail!
My husband and I had hiked down and up the Rock trail in April.

The Rock trail stays close to a wide rock wall, a really beautiful area.
There was a bit of mud on the trail to Lost lake, but not too bad.

We stopped and had an early lunch on a rock overlooking the lake.
The hike out was mostly down hill, thanks to Pat's one way route.
The remainder of our group waiting patiently?!, for the return of the cars. Pat had driven the other driver's up to the Gates Overlook parking lot in his car.
Fun day with a fun group, I think I'm liking this shuttle hiking.
