All year is a splendid time in the Northern Cascade Range if you love the outdoors. Whitewater paddling is great on Miller River - East Fork, and after a long day outdoors Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a delightful place to spend a night or two. Looking for some flowing water? Try Coney Creek, and there is a great hiking trail close by called the Pratt Lake Trail. So much cool stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too great to be true. Do stop at Gouging Lake in the neighborhood of Francis Lake, it's a lovely lake, and the Middle Fork Trail is a great hiking trail nearby.
Francis Lake is a beautiful lake in the Northern Cascade Range. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Salish Lodge And Spa; going for a hike on the Annette Lake Trail is always a splendid adventure.

Stephens Pass
1 PHOTO
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...

Alpental
Really good gets tons of snow but almost always wet has some very steep runs which are great and has some cliffs that are my size and some so i can learn...

Snoqualmie
3 PHOTOS
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
10 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. ...

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....
