There are lots of flowers along the shore including many pink Spirea and I wonder if that’s what suggested the name.

It is. If you look closely at the high ridge behind the lake you can see a few snowbanks still remaining.

This lake does get a few visitors but we were the only ones there that day. The silence was broken only by the birds and the wind.

There are many lakes that are somewhat similar in this general region, all rather remote. This is one of the larger ones.

So peaceful and quiet. One could skip a stone clear to the other side it is so smooth.

We got there before much wind came up but there was a little touching the surface toward the far shore. Earlier it would have been completely still. The forecast for that day was for a fairly good morning and thunderstorms for the afternoon.

The trail gets some activity, but the lake is still very clean. It still has snow-melt feeding it, and the first snow of this winter is not far away.

I love these high lakes. They are very clear and pure and cold, and too far in most cases for someone to carry an inflatable boat, so they are really not exploited.

Yes, you would have liked the temperature there. We were hot from the hike up, but quickly cooled at the lake and needed jackets very soon after we got there.

The forecast for that day was for thunderstorms after noon and I chose that destination because walking back down that trail in a storm would have been very pleasant. It turned out to be a nice day although it did get cloudy later in the afternoon.

I did not get my hikes in the high country this summer and your Blossom Lake pics tug at my heart. Just beautiful. 5,000+ feet — a good strain.

I haven’t had as many hikes this year as I had planned either, Jack, and sure missed them. Finally got to do a few this week, and today’s was a great one!

It is a beautiful setting, right on the border between Montana and Idaho (which is just over the ridge behind the lake), and it’s inside a roadless area where it has at least some degree of protection.

You’ve taken your shot from my favorite vantage point for mountain lakes: the log-clogged outlet.
I also am enjoying your alpine hiking vicariously, as a cottage building project has meant no backpacking (and hardly any biking or canoeing) for me and the Mr.

I’ve also stayed home too much due to a remodeling project, but my daughter wanted to make some hikes during her visit and that suited me just fine!

You get to see lots & lots & lots of unspoiled places like this on your hikes, don’t you! Roadless, so you have them all to yourself, too! How INCREDIBLY AWESOME is that!!! Absolutely gorgeous lake, mountains, trees, water, etc WoW! =)

These are the places that I love to visit because of their beauty and also because they are remote and lightly visited. Because they are roadless, the forest has not been exploited and is still existing in its natural state. It’s well worth the effort of making the hikes to get there!
