2011, Day 309 - Devil in the mirror

Perhaps the most breathtaking place on the Cascade Lake Scenic Byway is Devils Lake.  It is a small shallow lake that is more a large pond than lake but it is dotted with campsites that allow unobstructed views of its crystal clear azure waters.  With only faint ripples from a light breeze the clouds are reflected almost perfectly.  Add to the wooded surroundings volcanic rocks and gnarled skeletons of trees whipped by chill winter gales and you have a natural wonder just a few steps off the highway.
