4.5 hr
Merritt Lake is nestled under Nason Ridge a dozen miles east of Stevens Pass. This is just far enough from the crest to leave west side clouds behind. This hike is an under-appreciated one in the Stevens Pass area, so you may be lucky enough to enjoy a relatively uncrowded hike.
You can bring your leashed dog to Merritt Lake and Lost Lake. Photo by Altabill.
