Arguably one of the most well known and beautiful locations in the park is Lake Crescent. Not to be confused with Crescent Lake which is another part of Washington. On a clear, sunny day, the lake lights up turquoise. On a moody day, the blue water is complimented by fog blanketing the mountainous, evergreen forests that surround it. If i’m being honest, I really prefer a moody Pacific Northwest day for photos. It really brings the drama like nowhere else in the US.

Between the mountains, The Columbia River Gorge (both on the Washington and Oregon sides) and Wenatchee, WA, there are SO MANY beautiful wildflower locations for an elopement or micro wedding. This guide will help you pinpoint one with all the details you need to plan your day.
