This lake is so wonderful. Really pleasant skiing awaits you at Snoqualmie, and Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a delightful place to get some rest. Keechelus Lake sees pretty high levels of rain; during the month of January you get the most rain around here while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Glide down the rapids of Box Canyon Creek in a kayak, and hiking along the Cooper Pass Trail is tremendous fun. This lake is so
| | | |
| | wonderful. A magnificent spot to visit in close proximity to Keechelus Lake is Stampede Pass, and there are other places here than Keechelus Lake, for example Resort Creek Pond. Just can't get enough of the Northern Cascade Range. Very great water scenery is available at Keechelus Dam next to Keechelus Lake, and Kachess Campground is a pleasant campground nearby. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Snoqualmie River - South Fork, and do take a hike on the Snowshoe | |

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.... |
Snoqualmie
 | 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!... |

Wish Poosh Campground
 | 17 miles away We overnighted at this campsite a couple of weekends ago. The camp hosts were wonderful, they were informative and kept the grounds and the bathrooms spic-n-span clean. They were always in their golf cart putting around taking care of this or that. They scolded us for staying the night in a place we weren't supposed to, and I felt bad about that because I knew we shouldn't have stayed there but my partner insisted and it was his birthday. I knew they were just keeping order at the campground they were in charge of, and I appreciated that. Keep up the good work!... |
Stephens Pass
 | 18 miles away 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... |
