     Mule Lake is a beautiful lake in the Northern Cascade Range. After a long day outdoors Best Western Icicle Inn is a good site to spend a night or two, and unsurprisingly, this is a wonderful neighborhood for people who like lakes, Spire Lake is a lake around here. This lake is so wonderful. Sulphur Creek Campground is a fine local campground, and on a magnificent day you can take a hike along the Miners Creek Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. And that's
