     There are splendid locations to discover along the Mount Defiance Trail. Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever want to return home again. At Derrick Lake you can distinguish Preacher Mountain, and don't forget to take a delightful little journey to Cripple Creek. All through the months of summer here at Derrick Lake, high temperatures ordinarily reach the 70's, and during the night it cools down to the 50's. For the duration of the  
   winter highs are in the 40's with temperatures at Derrick Lake dipping down into the 30's through winter nights.
This lake is so wonderful. Salish Lodge And Spa is a good place to get some rest, and don't leave Derrick Lake without first going for a hike along the Middle Fork Trail. This lake is so wonderful. Hit the slopes at Snoqualmie in the vicinity, and get covered with water paddling on Taylor River. That right there is lots of exciting things already
 
               but it goes on, the Northern Cascade Range has it all. Looking for something close to Derrick Lake? Little Derrick Lake is close at hand, and camping at Commonwealth Campground is always a good experience.
That right there is plenty already, but it continues; Derrick Lake has it all. You're probably hooked on lakes, Horseshoe Lake is one of those close by, and going for a hike on the Pratt Lake Trail is always a brilliant adventure. Whitewater paddling is great on Snoqualmie River - Middle Fork, and if you need a spot to stay Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a great choice. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful.
The high level of rain makes Derrick Lake a rather wet location; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain while July is generally the driest month. Camping is available at West Fork Campground, and Alpental has perfect slopes and a friendly staff.

Lunker Lake
...e Trout, Pike, Large and Small Mouth Bass? but you must catch the ''Lunkers'' to open your options. The first player to catch 2 fish from each of the 6 different areas in the lake is TOP ANGLER and wins the game. Watch for sandbars, and be sure to have your life jacket and fishing license for everyone? the fisheries officer is unforgiving.
Direct Importer of this ?Family Fun? Fishing game
Voted Most Promising New Game at the American Sports Fishing Association Trade Show in Chicago & was one of two finalists vying for the Prestigious Best New Giftware Award
?With Murphy's law around on some days, fishing can be slow; therefore, I count on ''Lunker Lake''? It's a great catch for both young and old?.

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...

Honey Lake
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. ...

Pacific Crest Trail - section 25
15 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....

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...
