Diablo Lake is one of the lakes formed by the dams on the Skagit River in the North Cascades, in this case by the Diablo Dam. It is a popular recreation area and has some of the best hiking trails in the North Cascades. The peaks are Colonial Peak on the left and Pyramid Peak on the right. The picture was taken last summer which was very dry, as is evident from the vegetation in the foreground. The color of the water is due to glacial run-off. We were orchid hunting in the area when this picture was taken.

This is one of my wife's photos, taken where Thunder Creek empties into Diablo Lake and below the viewpoint from which the previous shot was taken. There is a highway bridge here and the road drops down to the bridge before winding up again along the hillside on the right to the Diablo Lake overlook. From there the road climbs to Rainy Pass and Washington Pass.

Pyramid Peak is one of the peaks that overlooks Diablo Lake, the lake formed by Diablo Dam in the North Cascades. The photo was taken on a recent trip through the North Cascades on Highway 20 and from the Diablo Lake overlook.

This photo was taken from the same place as the previous photo, the Diablo Lake overlook on Highway 20, the North Cascades Highway, and in the area of North Cascades National Park. The lake is Diablo Lake formed by the Diablo Dam, one of the dams that provide hydroelectric power for the city of Seattle and the peak in the background is Colonial Peak. The photo was taken in summer rather than autumn.

This is another photo from our drive through North Cascades National Park to the Maple and Heather Pass trailhead where we hiked on Friday, October 24th. The peak on the far right is Pyramid Peak and the peak in the center is Colonial Peak. The lake is Diablo Lake formed by the Diablo Dam. The photo was taken from the Diablo Lake overlook, a necessary stop on the North Cascades Highway.
