Waptus, Spade, and Venus Lakes Hike - Backpacking Trip in Washington's Alpine Lakes Wilderness, USA

Amazing but hot backpacking trip with two nights at Waptus Lake and a day hike up to Spade Lake, Venus Lake, and the ridge above Venus with views of Mount Daniel. Views were phenomenal and fellow hikers/campers were great. TH to Waptus is pretty easy, up to Spade is steep and overgrown but manageable, then up to Venus is basically straight up with some minor scrambles and route finding, and the ridge is more up but fairly easy by comparison.
