💧 Diablo Lake – North Cascades National Park 💧 One of Washington’s most unreal views ✨ This glacier-fed lake gets its electric turquoise color from “rock flour” — tiny particles ground up by glaciers and carried downstream into the water. When sunlight hits it, it creates that insane blue-green glow. 📍 Location: North Cascades National Park (near the town of Newhalem) 🚗 Accessibility: Easy pull-off viewpoints short trails 🌤️ Best time to visit: Late spring through early fall 🏞️ Bonus: You

The striking teal color of Diablo Lake in Washington comes from glacial flour — fine rock particles from nearby glaciers that stay suspended in the water and reflect sunlight in the dreamiest way 💎❄️ #pnw #northcascadesnationalpark #ExploreWashington #pacificnorthwest | Compass Outdoors
