     Blue Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range. Man, is there loads of amusing things to do in the Northern Cascade Range. Near Blue Lake you discover the Kennedy Ridge Trail which is a pleasant hiking trail, and you'll come across a striking lake called Lake Sally Ann.

This lake is so wonderful. Lakes are such peaceful places, why not stop at Little Blue Lake near Blue Lake, and after a long day outdoors Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a great location to spend a night or two. If you like the outdoors, you'll love Blue Lake. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Sloan Creek; Stephens Pass has perfect
 
               slopes and a friendly staff. Get your pulse rate up on the wonderful whitewater of Little Wenatchee River, and you can go for a hike on the Fire Creek Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. If you came to camp Little Wenatchee Ford Campground is a good place to do that. Blue Lake sees pretty high levels of rain; through November this area sees the most rain, and July is when it's the driest. You absolutely ought to adore the Northern Cascade Range. Blue Lake is splendid enough to spend more than a day at, Sloan Creek Campground is a splendid local campground; the view of gorgeous Johnson Mountain is brilliant.
Going for a hike on the Glacier Ridge Trail is always a good adventure, and nearby Dishpan Gap is a good spot to go.

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...

Napeequa Crossing Campground
18 miles away
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....
