   a splendid time in the Northern Cascade Range is painless. Whitewater paddling is good on Summit Creek, and the Cramer Lake Trail offers hiking at its best.
Life's too short to enjoy all the fun stuff right next door to Ginnette Lake. Hit the slopes at White Pass close at hand, and you'll find a gorgeous lake called Leech Lake. But wait, there's more entertaining things to do in the Northern Cascade Range. If you need a site to stay Suncadia Resort is a brilliant
 
               choice, and paddling on Cowlitz River - Clear Fork is so much fun. All the water falling down from the sky makes Ginnette Lake a wet place; most of the snow falls during January, and the driest month is July.
Ginnette Lake is one of the lakes here in the Northern Cascade Range. Crystal Mountain is a very popular ski area in close proximity, and on a lovely day you obtain a splendid panorama of Pigtail Peak from Ginnette Lake.

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....
