     A lot of rain falls at Deerhead Lake; January is the month that gets the most snow; July is when it's the driest. If you came for an overnight stay Knuppenburg Lake Campground is a perfect place to camp; going for a hike on the Jug Lake Trail is always a delightful adventure. This lake is so wonderful. A magnificent close by hotel is Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit; on a beautiful day you obtain a fine panorama of Cramer Mountain from Deerhead Lake.

You'll come across a delightful lake called Jess Lake near Deerhead Lake; don't leave Deerhead Lake without first going for a hike along the Twin Sisters Trail. Life's too short to enjoy all the enjoyable stuff close to Deerhead Lake. Gotta ski! White Pass is a great place to do that, and a tremendous site is Cowlitz Pass. Now, you may think that's heaps but there's even more cool stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. Very gorgeous scenery and splendid skiing is what you get at Crystal Mountain; float down the rapids of Summit Creek in a kayak.
This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Cascade Range. This lake is so wonderful. A charming lake like Pipe Lake right next door to Deerhead Lake is a great site to visit, and you can go for a hike on the Cramer Lake Trail.

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....
