     A large amount of precipitation falls at Horse Lake; the wettest month of the year is ordinarily December, that's the one that rains the most, and July meanwhile is the driest month. Going for a hike along the Fire Creek Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area, and you'll find a gorgeous lake called Downey Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Hiking along the Meadow Mountain Trail is magnificent fun, and in the event that you don’t have a problem  
   getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Downey Creek.
Summertime at Horse Lake comes with high temperatures in the 70's, and throughout the night it cools down to the 50's. During the winter the highs are ordinarily in the 30's while the cold winter nights at Horse Lake are in the 30's. Just can't get enough of Horse Lake. Horse Lake is right by the Sulphur Mountain Way; if you came to camp Downey Creek Campground is a wonderful place to do that.
 
               Horse Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range.
You'll never forgive yourself if you don’t go skiing at Stephens Pass while you're here; whitewater paddling is good on Suiattle River. Life's too short to enjoy all the cool stuff in the Northern Cascade Range. Camping at Sulphur Creek Campground is always a great experience; since you're here, you could also take a look at wonderful Box Mountain Lakes. So many amusing things in the Northern Cascade Range, just inspiring. Mount Buckindy can be spotted from Horse Lake.

Cascade River
Did this section July 21, 2007 in a tandem canoe, at about 1850. Had never done this section before. The description above seems accurate. Several large log jams, some completely blocking the river, forcing us to take some long and rough portages through thick brush and over huge piles of logs. Even when the river is not blocked, there are serious strainers at every bend. You really have to be alert to avoid them. A lot of work and danger for the few fun class II rapids you get within the first mile or so. We spent nearly three hours on portages and scouting and only about one hour actually on the water. Not recommended....

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...
