If you've got some nice weather there's nothing better than spending five hours driving to the north end of Ross Lake in Canada for a quick dip and then driving back to Seattle.

A deforested swath, thick with shrubbery, seperates the United States and Canada.  It can be seen extending into the distance on the other side of Ross Lake.

NOTE:  To really appreciate a dip in Ross Lake, one should first embark on a planned two-day climb of the north peak of Hozomeen, then give up after about 1 & 1/2 hours of hiking because an insane level of biting insects coupled with horrendous bushwacking.
