🚗 Getting There

From Seattle, drive north on Interstate 5 and take Alger Exit (240). Turn left over the overpass, drive a half-mile to Barrel Springs Road and turn left. After 1 mile find a wide gravel road on the right marked Blanchard Hill Trails. Drive 1.6 miles to pass the lower trailhead, continue another 1.6 miles to reach the upper Lily/Lizard Lakes trailhead. There is a large parking area 0.1 mile past the trailhead.

📝 Trip Notes

  • Large trail network on Blanchard with many options
  • Visited Lizard and Lily Lakes, and Blanchard's "North Butte"
  • Dying batteries in my camera led to severely limiting the number of pictures I took
