     All year is a good time in the Northern Cascade Range if you fancy the outdoors. You could also have a look at Stone Lake if you're here at Grotto Lake; it's nearby, and what would winter be without some skiing at Stephens Pass. This lake is so wonderful. Paradise Meadow is a nice place, and a lake nearby is Klinger Lake. At Grotto Lake you can see Grotto Mountain.
Now, you may assume that's plenty but there's even more exciting stuff to do here at Grotto
 
   Lake. Get drenched paddling on Skykomish River - South Fork; West Fork Campground is a glorious campground nearby. On a perfect day at Grotto Lake you can take a hike along the Lost Creek Ridge Trail, and you'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Alpental while you're here. This lake is so wonderful. Dry warm beds await you at Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit; if the weather is splendid, you can go for a hike along the Pratt Lake Trail.
If you
 
               need a location to stay Salish Lodge And Spa is a great choice, and if you're here you can take a hike along the Middle Fork Trail. Grotto Lake is a beautiful lake in the Northern Cascade Range. Life's too short to enjoy all the cool things in the Northern Cascade Range. Glide down the rapids of Money Creek in a kayak, and you can stay the night at San Juan Campground.

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...

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?...

Honey Lake
14 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. ...

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...
...A MILLION MILES AWAY!...
