     Summer at Crater Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 70's while nighttime lows are frequently in the 50's. Throughout the winter highs are in the 40's with winter lows in the 20's overnight here at Crater Lake. Downey Creek Campground is a delightful local campground; Downey Creek has a wonderful whitewater paddling spot nearby. Life's too short to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Northern Cascade Range. If you need a place to stay Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit  
   is a great choice.
This is a good region for folks who like lakes. Chaval Lake is a lake around here; hiking along the Hidden Lake Trail is pleasant fun. This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Cascade Range. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this site. At Crater Lake you can see Mount Chaval, and in case you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Suiattle River.
All year is a fine time in the
 
               Northern Cascade Range if you like the outdoors. Why not camp at East Side Buck Creek Campground while you're here at Crater Lake; do take a hike on the Meadow Mountain Trail. Crater Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; the month with most of the rain is November; July on the other hand is the driest. This lake is so wonderful. Nearby lakes? Sure, Lake Kawkawak is close to Crater Lake; going for a hike along the Sulphur Mountain Way will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area.

Cascade River
Did this section July 21, 2007 in a tandem canoe, at about 1850. Had never done this section before. The description above seems accurate. Several large log jams, some completely blocking the river, forcing us to take some long and rough portages through thick brush and over huge piles of logs. Even when the river is not blocked, there are serious strainers at every bend. You really have to be alert to avoid them. A lot of work and danger for the few fun class II rapids you get within the first mile or so. We spent nearly three hours on portages and scouting and only about one hour actually on the water. Not recommended....
