Sullivan Lake, Colville National Forest
Sullivan Lake near Metaline Falls, WA. Hike the shore and look up for bighorn sheep.
Hike the trail along the shore of a long, clear mountain lake ringed by forest, as far as you like. Scan the steep slopes of Hall Mountain, and whoever spots the first bighorn sheep picks the lunch beach. Then find a flat stone and have a rock-skipping contest. The photo to get: you with the lake behind you.
Good with just you, friends, family, and kids
