     Take a hike on the Middle Fork Trail, and after a long day outdoors Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a great spot to spend a night or two. Summertime highs at Hester Lake typically tend to be in the 70's, and throughout the night it cools down to the 50's. Highs during the winter are mostly in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 30's to Hester Lake. Having a wonderful time in the Northern Cascade Range is painless. Mount Price can be made out  
   from Hester Lake, and West Fork Campground is a fine local campground.
You just can't envision the amount of outdoors entertaining stuff the Northern Cascade Range has to offer. Going for a hike along the Pratt Lake Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area; in case you don’t have a problem getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Snoqualmie River - Middle Fork. All the water falling down from the sky makes Hester Lake a wet
 
               place; December is when you get the most rain here, and July meanwhile is the driest month. If you want a great time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Hester Lake. Have a good hiking adventure along the Annette Lake Trail; if you came for an overnight stay Commonwealth Campground is a wonderful spot to camp.
Whitewater paddling is great on Dingford Creek. Very pretty scenery and glorious skiing is what you get at Snoqualmie, and Burnboot Creek is near Hester Lake and is always a delight to go to. This lake is so wonderful. What would winter be without some skiing at Alpental, and you're almost certainly addicted to lakes, Nimue Lake is one of those nearby.
This lake is located in the wonderful Northern Cascade Range. This lake is so wonderful. Don't leave Hester Lake without first paying a visit to Goldmyer Hot Springs; if you've had enough of Hester Lake, Little Hester Lake is nearby.

Lunker Lake
...s bring the Family back to the Game Table Together!!! If you have vacationed in B.C., what a perfect souvenir to remember your trip by. Perfect to take on your boat, float house, camping trip, or just around the house.
Lunker Lake is a realistic and entertaining family game, that is easily played by people of all ages. This ultimate freshwater fishing game is both exciting and challenging for anglers and non-anglers alike. There are several species of fish lurking in the depths of Lunker Lake. Including Muskie, Walleye, Lake Trout, Pike, Large and Small Mouth Bass? but you 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.

Snoqualmie

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...

Pacific Crest Trail - section 25

Roundtrip Distance 17.4 miles
Elevation Gain 2,574 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....

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...

Honey Lake
12 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. ...
