So much amusing stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range, not enough time. On a delightful day at Joan Lake you can take a hike along the Escondido Trail, and unsurprisingly North Fork Rapid River is a scenic stream that is worth stopping at. This lake is so wonderful. Lakes? Sure, Scrabble Lake is close at hand, and great skiing awaits you at Alpental. Summertime at Joan Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 60's, and through the night it cools down

Get wet paddling on Martin Creek; if you came for an overnight stay Deception Creek Campground is a splendid spot to camp. From Joan Lake you get a tremendous sight of Scorpion Mountain, and going for a hike on the Lost Creek Ridge Trail is always a great adventure. Life's too | |

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... |
Boulder Lake
 | 11 miles away Its one hard hike but when you get to the top you forget about everything its a breath taking site. Well worth the work out... |
Bonnie Lake
 | 11 miles away 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?... |
Fish Lake Campground
 | 14 miles away Watch for grizzly. Esp. early spring and fall.... |
Tucquala Lake
 | 15 miles away 1 PHOTO This ''Lake'' Is Beautiful. It really isn't a lake at all, in the summer it is a widening of the river. Very slow moving river, more like a slough, it is very clean, clear, and cold, mountain runoff. The fishing is excellent from a small boat or float tube, although the current can be somewhat strong. I fly fished, using a #14 Adams, and caught 11 rainbow and cutthroat trout between 6 & 11'', in the early to mid evening. This was in July of 2008. Camping was good, small sites along the main road. Keep your food in the cars though as Bears are definitely out.... |

Alpental
 | 23 miles away Really good gets tons of snow but almost always wet has some very steep runs which are great and has some cliffs that are my size and some so i can learn... |
Snoqualmie
 | 23 miles away 3 PHOTOS 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!... |
