you may think that's a lot but there's even more entertaining stuff to do here in the Central Cascade Range. If you come at the right time of year, Zigzag River offers some delightful whitewater, and Best Western Columbia River Inn
is a tremendous place to get some rest. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Sandy River, and the Eagle Tanner Trail offers hiking at its best. Through the months of summer, highs commonly are in the 70's at Blue Lake, and during the
night it cools down to the 50's. For the period of the winter the highs are regularly in the 40's with winter lows in the 30's overnight here at Blue Lake.
This lake is so wonderful. The peak of Buck Peak can be seen from Blue
