    If you are in King county it's always a good idea to stop by Grotto Lake. Not enough hours in a day to enjoy the Northern Cascade Range. A lake nearby is Stone Lake, and here at Grotto Lake you can make out Grotto Mountain. Summertime highs at Grotto Lake usually tend to be in the 70's. During the dark hours of summer temperatures sink down into the 50's. Through the winter this place gets highs in the 40's with temperatures at Grotto Lake dipping down into the  
   30's throughout winter nights.
This lake is so wonderful. What would winter be without some skiing at Stephens Pass, and Klinger Lake is a nearby lake that you could go to. Grotto Lake sees pretty high levels of rain; most of the rain falls through December, and the driest of the months is July. If only every place had this much outdoors entertaining things, what a great world it would be. You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Alpental
 
               since you're here, and you can run the rapids of Money Creek.
Hiking along the Middle Fork Trail is tremendous fun, and San Juan Campground is a fine local campground. If you came for an overnight stay West Fork Campground is a great place to camp, and going for a hike along the Lost Creek Ridge Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood. This lake is so wonderful. Get your pulse rate up on the splendid whitewater of Skykomish River - South Fork; you can have a pleasant hiking adventure along the Pratt Lake Trail.
This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Cascade Range. But wait, there's more fun stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. You have to without doubt dedicate some time to Paradise Meadow if you're here at Grotto Lake, and dry warm beds await you at Salish Lodge And Spa.

Stephens Pass

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...

...u must catch the ''Lunkers'' to open your options. The first player to catch 2 fish from each of the 6 different areas in the lake is TOP ANGLER and wins the game. Watch for sandbars, and be sure to have your life jacket and fishing license for everyone? the fisheries officer is unforgiving.

Bonnie Lake

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!...
