What a nice lake Basin Lake is. During the summer at Basin Lake temperatures are typically in the 70's, and the overnight is fairly chillier of course, frequently in the 40's. For the period of the wintertime this place gets highs in the 30's; night lows at Basin Lake throughout the wintertime typically descend into the 20's. Everybody nearby loves skiing at White Pass. And if that's not sufficient there's a heap more exciting stuff to do in the Northern Cascade

why not camp at Morse Creek Campground since you're here at Basin Lake. Now, you may imagine that's plenty but there's even more fun stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. A great view of lovely Crown Point is available
from Basin Lake, and in case you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on American River. Just can't get enough of Basin Lake. The skiing at Crystal Mountain is delightful, and while you're
here why not stop by Barnard Saddle. Take a side journey to Cement Creek; going for a hike along the Dewey Lake Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area. The high level of precipitation makes Basin Lake a quite
wet place; the month of January is the wettest with most of the rain while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Have a great hiking adventure along the Castle Mountain Trail, and Chinook Creek has a great whitewater paddling spot nearby.

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.... |
White Pass
 | 15 miles away ... everyone and places to relax and enjoy good times after the day is over. What really makes it special though, is the friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. It's what makes White Pass a ski and snowboard paradise. The White Pass experience starts with a bountiful snowfall (350'' in an average season) and with the highest base elevation on the crest of the Washington Cascades. The resort strikes a perfect balance between pulse quickening steeps, wide open cruisers and gentle learning areas with 33 percent of the terrain geared toward experts, 43 percent toward intermediates and 24 percent toward beginners. Nothing gets you to the top faster than the Great White Express, Washington's only Doppelmayr high-speed detachable quad. Great White can take you from the base to the summit in five minutes. White Pass is recognized as one of the greatest mountains to ride in the Northwest. Natural quarter-pipes, kickers, drops, cornices and chutes challenge even the most experienced boarder. It offers a half-pipe. It's got one of the most scenic and well-maintained cross-country a... |
Snoqualmie
 | 22 miles away 3 PHOTOS 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... ...A MILLION MILES AWAY!... |
