     Skiing at Snoqualmie is one of those things you just must do, and paddling on Foss River is so much fun. And if that's not sufficient, there's lots more to do next to Crawford Lake. Get covered with water paddling on Box Canyon Creek, and after a long day outdoors Suncadia Resort is a wonderful site to spend a night or two. Summertime highs at Crawford Lake mostly tend to be in the 70's, and the overnight is rather colder of course, commonly in the 50's. For the  
   period of the wintertime this place gets highs in the 40's, and overnight lows all through the wintertime for Crawford Lake tend to be in the 30's.
This lake is so wonderful. Crawford Creek is a wonderful local stream, and you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Stephens Pass if you're here. Just can't get enough of the Northern Cascade Range. You'll stumble on a delightful lake called Azure Lake near Crawford Lake, and a brilliant view of
 
               picturesque Iron Cap Mountain is available. This lake is so wonderful. Camping at Foss River Campground is always a brilliant experience; going for a hike on the Middle Fork Trail is always a tremendous adventure.
Crawford Lake is a wet site that gets lots of rainfall; most of the rain falls through December, and the driest of the months is July. And that's not everything you can do here in the Northern Cascade Range. A brilliant close by hotel is Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit, and a scenic lake like Little Chetwoot Lake is a great location to pop by. Crawford Lake is one of the lakes here in the Northern Cascade Range.
Go for a hike on the Escondido Trail. A great site to camp here at Crawford Lake is West Fork Campground, and good hiking is available along the Cooper Pass Trail.

Bonnie Lake
Bonney lake Is not trained. It is drained in the winter, who ever runs the dam doesn't man it in winter so they let it drain. There was talk that they would not fill it any more....Just heard that Bonnie Lake is drained in the winter and then refilled in the Spring. Can you tell me why?...

Stephens Pass

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...

Snoqualmie

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...

Pacific Crest Trail - section 25
11 miles away
Roundtrip Distance 17.4 miles
Elevation Gain 2,574 ft.
This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map....

This ''Lake'' Is Beautiful. It really isn't a lake at all, in the summer it is a widening of the river. Very slow moving river, more like a slough, it is very clean, clear, and cold, mountain runoff. The fishing is excellent from a small boat or float tube, although the current can be somewhat strong. I fly fished, using a #14 Adams, and caught 11 rainbow and cutthroat trout between 6 & 11'', in the early to mid evening. This was in July of 2008. Camping was good, small sites along the main road. Keep your food in the cars though as Bears are definitely out....

Honey Lake
18 miles away
The lake no longer has any trails to it. All trails are gone from nature reclaiming it. The only way into lake is through quartz creek road(no vehicles)2.5 miles. From there it is a bushwack up to the ridge(2000 ft). From the ridge you can see honey lake. 1000 feet down. The bush is thick in that area (45 degree angle going up and down(or it seem that steep). 15 years ago some guys fished out the lake in one day. Before tha the fish were between 18 to 24 inches rainbow. If you can make it you deserve the good fishing. Haven't fished there in 20 years it may not have any fish in it or it has big fish (I dont know never made it close enough recently to fish). Good luck. ...

Wish Poosh Campground
19 miles away
We overnighted at this campsite a couple of weekends ago. The camp hosts were wonderful, they were informative and kept the grounds and the bathrooms spic-n-span clean. They were always in their golf cart putting around taking care of this or that. They scolded us for staying the night in a place we weren't supposed to, and I felt bad about that because I knew we shouldn't have stayed there but my partner insisted and it was his birthday. I knew they were just keeping order at the campground they were in charge of, and I appreciated that. Keep up the good work!...
