Getting There: There are two ways to get to the chain lakes area. One access point is from Stevens Pass and the other from Icicle Creek Trail #1551. If you feel adventurous there is a bush whackers trail somewhere up Mill Creek Rd. At Stevens Pass park in lot E, the trailhead is easy to find from here. It is about a 7.5 mile hike down to the Chain Lakes Trail #1569, then 2.5 mile up to the lakes with an elevation gain of 2,000 ft.
