     This lake is so wonderful. The view of Snyder Mountain from Glacier Lake is striking, and a tour to Mount Rainier National Park is worthwhile. This lake is so wonderful. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Glacier Lake has to offer, you can camp at Chambers Lake Campground, and as expected Middle Fork Johnson Creek is a striking stream that is worth stopping at. Skiing at White Pass is one of those things you just have to do, and lakes are such  
   calm places, why not pop by Packwood Lake.
The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. For the period of the long summer days, highs generally are in the 70's at Glacier Lake; all through summer nights temperatures are in the 40's. Throughout the winter this place gets highs in the 30's; night lows in the 20's for Glacier Lake. You simply have to go for Glacier Lake. Good hiking is available along the Five Thousand Thirty Trail; whitewater paddling
 
               is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Cowlitz River.
And if that's not enough there's a heap more entertaining things to do in the Northern Cascade Range. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Glacier Lake; Glacier Lake Trail is a nice local trail; a picturesque lake like Art Lake is a great place to visit. All the water falling down from the sky makes Glacier Lake a wet location; January is when you get the most snow here, and the driest of the months is July.
Now, you may think that's a lot but there's even more fun things to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. There's so much to do here at Glacier Lake that you need to camp here for a while, River Bar Campground is a perfect place for that, and you can never get enough of the good skiing at Crystal Mountain. The Angry Mountain Trail offers hiking at its best, and if you come at the right time of year, Cowlitz River - Clear Fork offers some tremendous whitewater.

Pacific Crest Trail - section 24
Roundtrip Distance 13.4 miles
Elevation Gain 2,598 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....

White Pass
14 miles away
...variety of terrain for all abilities, a ski school with programs for everyone and places to relax and enjoy good times after the day is over.
What really makes it special though, is the friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. It's what makes White Pass a ski and snowboard paradise.
The White Pass experience starts with a bountiful snowfall (350'' in an average season) and with the highest base elevation on the crest of the Washington Cascades.
The resort strikes a perfect balance between pulse quickening steeps, wide open cruisers and gentle learning areas with 33 percent of the terrain geared toward experts, 43 percent toward intermediates and 24 percent toward beginners.
Nothing gets you to the top faster than the Great White Express, Washington's only Doppelmayr high-speed detachable quad. Great White can take you from the base to the summit in five minutes.
White Pass is recognized as one of the greatest mountains to ride in the Northwest. Natural quarter-pipes, kickers, drops, cornices and chutes challenge even the most experienced boarder. It offers a half-pipe.
