     That right there is a lot of exciting things already but it goes on, the Northern Cascade Range has it all. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at White Pass while you're here, and nearby you find the Cramer Lake Trail which is a magnificent hiking trail. Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever want to go back home again. If you need a spot to stay Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a great choice, and Beusch Lake

You can never get enough of the good skiing at Crystal Mountain; one of the dominant marks of the surroundings of Beusch Lake is Cramer Mountain. Summertime highs at Beusch Lake commonly tend to be in the 60's, and through the night it cools down to the 40's. For the duration of the winter this place gets highs in the 30's; night lows at Beusch
 
               Lake during the winter ordinarily plunge into the 10's. There are other sites here than Beusch Lake, for example Pipe Lake; float down the rapids of Cowlitz River - Clear Fork in a kayak.
This lake is so wonderful. Paddling on Summit Creek is so much fun, and you can stay the night at Knuppenburg Lake Campground. Beusch Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range. You feel that's enough? Just getting warmed up. Not far from Beusch Lake, you'll hit upon Deerhead Lake which is a charming lake, and going for a hike on the Jug Lake Trail is always a magnificent adventure.
This lake is so wonderful. Nearby Cowlitz Pass is a tremendous spot to go if you're at Beusch Lake, and you can go for a hike on the Dark Meadows Trail. All the water falling down from the sky makes Beusch Lake a wet location; January is the wettest month with most snow, and the driest month of the year is July.

White Pass
...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 areas in the Northwest. The 18 km of doub...

Sand Ridge Trail
The hike started out on the dry sandy rocky trail and with a slight grade up. After the 0.75 of a mile and 300 foot gain or so there was a fork; shortly after the you're ?entering the wilderness? sign, trail 1147, or Little Buck Trail is to the right. We haven't been on it, but it is suppose to be about a 0.9 of a mile and end up at the Indian Creek Trailhead and campground. After that fork Sand Ridge Trail, 1104, goes up for about 1 mile, and the foot gain for that mile is about 900 feet. According to the maps and the GPS we were using, the trail begins at about 3400 feet and goes to about 4600 feet. The last mile is like a standard up and down hike until the Shellrock Lake Trail junction, trail 1142 to the left, after that we don't know. Overall, for about the first 2 miles there is a 1200 foot gain in elevation, and then it evens out for a while. However, we had to turn around when we thought we were almost to the Shellrock Lake Trail junction due to a couple feet of snow pack and melt off....

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....
