     You just can't imagine the amount of outdoors fun stuff the Northern Cascade Range has to offer. Hiking along the Sulphur Mountain Way is tremendous fun, and do explore Buller Lake, it's a gorgeous lake. At Foss Lake during the months of summer highs are in the 70's; the overnight is somewhat colder of course, commonly in the 50's. The winter brings highs down to the 40's while the cold winter nights at Foss Lake are in the 30's. The Northern Cascade Range scenery  
   is always beautiful.
Having a wonderful time in the Northern Cascade Range is easy. A good spot to camp here at Foss Lake is Cascade Island Campground I. Foss Lake usually gets lots of precipitation; most of the rain falls throughout November, and July is when it's the driest. If only every place had this much outdoors amusing stuff, what a great world it would be. Camping at Cascade Islands Campground II is always a nice experience, and if you need a site to
 
               stay Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a wonderful choice.
This lake is so wonderful. Take a hike on the Meadow Mountain Trail; obviously Boulder Creek flows through this area. There are some pleasant whitewater spots on Illabot Creek, and Lower Jordan Lake is a nearby lake that you could pop by. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Hidden Lake Trail, and if you come at the right time of year, Cascade River offers some wonderful whitewater.

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....
