     This lake is located in the wonderful Northern Cascade Range. Airplane Lake is a relatively wet place typically with lots of precipitation; November is the wettest month with most rain; the driest month is July. So much exciting stuff near Airplane Lake, absolutely extraordinary. A day on the slopes of Stephens Pass is just what you need, and on a brilliant day you can take a hike along the Pacific Crest Trail - section 26.
High temperatures at Airplane
 
   Lake during the summer months are in the 70's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the 50's. The winter brings highs down to the 30's, and night lows at Airplane Lake all through the wintertime ordinarily descend into the 20's. This lake is so wonderful. Stay the night at Lake Creek Campground, and whitewater paddling is great on Little Wenatchee River. Just can't get enough of the Northern Cascade Range. While you're here at Airplane Lake, you could also  
               explore striking Lake Elsey, and if the weather is tremendous, you can go for a hike along the Miners Creek Trail.
If the weather is beautiful, you obtain a glorious panorama of Mount Jonathan from Airplane Lake, and the Kennedy Ridge Trail is a pleasant hiking trail close by. This lake is so wonderful. And if that's not enough there's lots more fun stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. Indian Ponds is a nearby lake that you could go to; Airplane Lake is a great location to visit for more than one day, White River Falls Campground is a great location to camp nearby.
Take a little tour to Amber Creek while you're here at Airplane Lake, and paddling on Lake Creek is so much fun.

Napeequa Crossing Campground
Well, most of the information in this little blurb is wrong: The nearest Metro area is not Ellensburg, it is Leavenworth. Lake Elsley? I have never heard of it, and have been in the area for 30 years. There is no such place called Indian Ponds anywhere around the campground. Though a beautiful hike, Napeequa Crossing to Twin Lakes is not an easy stroll, it is approximately 3.2+ miles one way, with many switchbacks, and to the average city person, a hard slog. This Article makes it sound like White river falls are on the way to Twin Lakes, which they are not. They are reached by driving on up the valley 5 more miles or so to the correct turnout. Also, it should be mentioned that from the beginning of camping season till Mid August, you should slather yourself in Bug repellant to keep from being eaten alive by Mosquitoes. The campground is located on the confluence of the White and Napeequa Rivers, which flow into Lake Wenatchee....

Stevens has a wide diversity of trails and runs that suits every riding style. From beginner to expert and for those terrain park junkies Stevens has you covered. I think what's special about Stevens is you can find your own little part of the mountain which is all yours, I have 4-5 little runs that cross between trails and off-piste that are all mine. Also the snow is crazy good, powder almost all the time. My favorite runs are Orion, some tree skiing near wall street, and right above the power lines. Stevens also has some pretty sweet out of bounds stuff to so check it out...
