At the base of the Cascade Mountains lies this peaceful lake. It has amazing views of both South Sister and Broken Top Mountains and from this perspective, the summits of Broken Top are in all of their early-morning glory.

This image was taken from the lakeshore of Sparks Lake, with a view of Broken Top Mountain.
I stood near the Sparks Lake Day Use parking area (44.013884, -121.737805). Once you reach the parking area, take the visitor trail north to reach the lakeshore.
