Good hiking is available along the Sand Ridge Trail; Bumping Lake - Wenatchee National Forest is a good local campground. So many entertaining things in the Northern Cascade Range, just impressive. Don't
leave Pear Lake without first going for a hike along the Pear Butte Trail; a nice spot for whitewater paddling is Bumping River. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always visit close by Blakenship Lakes, and what would
winter be without some skiing at Crystal Mountain.
Life's too short to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Northern Cascade Range. Lakes are great; Apple Lake is a lake that's near Pear Lake, and there are great places to discover along the Blankenship Meadows Trail.

Sand Ridge Trail
| The hike started out on the dry sandy rocky trail and with a slight grade up. After the 0.75 of a mile and 300 foot gain or so there was a fork; shortly after the you're ?entering the wilderness? sign, trail 1147, or Little Buck Trail is to the right. We haven't been on it, but it is suppose to be about a 0.9 of a mile and end up at the Indian Creek Trailhead and campground. After that fork Sand Ridge Trail, 1104, goes up for about 1 mile, and the foot gain for that mile is about 900 feet. According to the maps and the GPS we were using, the trail begins at about 3400 feet and goes to about 4600 feet. The last mile is like a standard up and down hike until the Shellrock Lake Trail junction, trail 1142 to the left, after that we don't know. Overall, for about the first 2 miles there is a 1200 foot gain in elevation, and then it evens out for a while. However, we had to turn around when we thought we were almost to the Shellrock Lake Trail junction due to a couple feet of snow pack and melt off.... |
Granite Lake
 | Granite Lake has crystal clear water, is surrounded by a very primtive campground. I don't recall how many campsites there are, but I have never been there when there was more than one other party. The surrounding area is incredibly beautiful, well worth the extremely rough road in. 4 wheel drive only. There is an abandoned copper mine in the area, and if you can find the trailhead, (good luck), the scenery is breathtaking. I've been to the mine 3 times. Watch out for bears! There is a ghost town below the copper mine. Very little is left. There are picnic tables, no water and no bathrooms. Come prepared.... |
