Monogram Lake is located in North Cascades National Park, in the U. S. state of Washington.[2] Monogram Lake can be reached by trail from Snoqualmie National Forest.[3] The distance from the trailhead to the lake is 5 mi (8.0 km) one way and is considered strenuous since it requires an altitude gain of 4,040 ft (1,230 m).[4] The lake is situated two miles east of Lookout Mountain, and 1.5 mile south of Little Devil Peak. The lake drains to the Cascade River via Monogram Creek.
