I went hiking at Summit Lake with friends. Summit Lake is a beautiful lake near Rainier. We went swimming in the lake, which was pretty cold - probably somewhere between 50 and 55 F, depending on who you ask. We went up to the ridge above the lake for sunset, and were able to see the milky way since it was a new moon. We then walked out with our headlamps.
