     The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. Just can't get enough of the Northern Cascade Range. You're in all probability keen on lakes, Little Cougar Lake is one of those nearby, and if you came for an overnight stay Morse Creek Campground is a splendid place to camp. And if that's not enough there's lots more enjoyable stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. Crystal Mountain is a good local ski area, and Soda Springs Campground is a good campground  
   nearby.
American Lake gets a lot of water; through January this area sees the most rain; the driest month of the year is July. Through the months of summer highs here at American Lake get into the 70's, and through the night it cools down to the 40's. For the duration of the winter highs are in the 30's; winter nights come with lows in the 20's to American Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Go for a hike on the Swamp Lake Trail, and whitewater paddling is
 
               not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Summit Creek.
Not sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this location. There are some splendid whitewater spots on Chinook Creek, and of course, this is a nice region for people who like lakes, Anderson Lake is a lake in the neighborhood. Don't leave American Lake without first going for a hike along the Sheep Lake Trail; everyone close by loves skiing at White Pass. If you need a site to stay Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a magnificent choice; going for a hike on the Dewey Lake Trail is always a glorious adventure.
This lake is so wonderful.

Granite Lake
Granite Lake has crystal clear water, is surrounded by a very primtive campground. I don't recall how many campsites there are, but I have never been there when there was more than one other party. The surrounding area is incredibly beautiful, well worth the extremely rough road in. 4 wheel drive only. There is an abandoned copper mine in the area, and if you can find the trailhead, (good luck), the scenery is breathtaking. I've been to the mine 3 times. Watch out for bears! There is a ghost town below the copper mine. Very little is left. There are picnic tables, no water and no bathrooms. Come prepared....

From the steep and deep to the high-speed buffed-out cruisers, from our gentle learning areas to our benchmark parks and pipe, diversity is a way of life around here. With four unique base areas and less than an hour from Seattle on Interstate 90, no other resort in the country offers so much variety with this much convenience. Consider it a buffet for the outdoor enthusiast!
For the third year in a row, we stayed open longer than any other resort in the state, this season through Memorial Day. What can we say? We love spring skiing as much as you do!
So if you're looking for a true escape this winter, look no further than The Summit.
Just around the corner...
