I tried searching but couldnt really come up with anything, Me and my buddy are looking for a alpine lake on highway 2 that we can over night on. Nothing to extreme to hike into but we can take it if we have to. Is it still to early to go up and camp? Any help would be nice :)

Wallace lake is fun, and you can camp at Jay lake further up the trail. Greider Lakes are scenic and very fun, a short but very steep hike. Lake serene has some fish in it and is scenic, Mike made a video about it. I dunno about the weather, there's a lot of rain up there, snow maybe, but when the lakes ice out there a lot of hungry fish.

here's a good resource for hiking in washington. They have trip reports by date so you know what the trail conditions for spring, summer fall will be and generally what to expect http://www.wta.org/

US 2 has tons of lakes to choose from for back packing into, Janus, Glasses, Malachite, Lichtenwasser, Little Heart, Big Heart, Copper, Trout, as to when, it'll be a little later this year. US Forest Service maps, Washington Gazeteer, Green Trails.. Check the ones with lower elevations to get in there earlier.
