Spruce Railroad Trail to Devil's Punchbowl

After our hike to Pyramid Mountain, we drove up the East Bench Road on the east side of Lake Crescent to hike part way along the Spruce Railroad Trail to the Devil's Punchbow, a 2 mile round trip. The Spruce Railroad Trail is a paved trail that extends for 6 miles along the north shore of Lake Crescent.
The first mile of the trail is in the forest.

One mile along the trail, before the first tunnel, we took the spur trail on the left to the Devil's Punchbowl.

The blue color of the Devil's Punchowl is so gorgeous!
