Sterling Pond

Sterling Pond is a beautiful alpine pond nestled between Madonna and Spruce Peaks. The path to get there is a bit less than a mile, but consists of many series of rock steps. While not technically challenging, it is a leg burner! When you arrive at the pristine pond at the top, however, all the effort will prove worthwhile. You can easily add a quick climb north to the summit of Madonna Peak for beautiful views stretching all the way to Canada.
