That right there is plenty of fun things already but it goes on, the Northern Cascade Range has it all. The Minnie Meadows Trail is a great hiking trail in the neighborhood of Phantom Lake, and spots like Conrad Meadows are good to check out. This lake is located  
   in the wonderful Northern Cascade Range.
Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever want to return home again. There is a splendid hiking trail close to Phantom Lake called the Tieton Meadows Trail, and naturally Bear Creek flows through this neighborhood.

               during the winter are normally in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 20's to Phantom Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Phantom Lake is tremendous enough to spend more than a day at, Grey Creek Campground is a tremendous local campground.
On a brilliant day at Phantom Lake you can take a hike along the Bear Creek Mountain Trail, and a day on the slopes of Crystal Mountain is just what you need. Any time is a good time at Phantom Lake if you adore the outdoors. Diamond Lake is a nearby lake that you could explore, and Tieton River - South Fork is a glorious whitewater spot nearby. All the water falling down from the sky makes Phantom Lake a wet spot; throughout January this area sees the most rain, and July meanwhile is the driest month.
This lake is so wonderful. Do check out Section 3 Lake next to Phantom Lake, it's a charming lake, and in the event that you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Cispus River.

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....

Robin, you can have fires in camp at Rimrock as long as there are no fire bans in the Wenatchee National Forest, you can find out if there is a ban by going to the Naches Ranger Station online or along Highway 12 going through Naches up White Pass....When is the best time to troll for silvers in Rimrock Lake?...Would like to now if we are allowed to have camp fires at rimrock lake....

Granite Lake
14 miles away
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....

Bench Lake

1 PHOTO
This is Bench Lake in the Bird Creek area of Mt. Adams, Washington. This is located on the Yakama Reservation portion of land called Tract D which was Treaty land deeded back to the tribes in 1973. Mt. Adams plays peekaboo here with Little Mt. Adams.

The ranger of this area, Richard Canapo, stays in a trailer up the hill at the entrance by Mirror Lake and is a good source of local information as well as maps of the trails in the area. Permits are as follows:

Entry permit... $5. 00 for a 5 day entry fee

Camping and fishing permits are in addition to entry fees and are:

Camping... $10. 00 per night per space Fishing ... $5. 00 per day or $10. 00 for 5 days

You can have up to 12 pieces of split firewood per night of camping.

I should add that the road in to this lake is a bit rough and rocky, a narrow dirt road. Be cautious watching for other traffic, and I would not take an extremely low car in here. Last trip someone put a hole in a crankcase of a PT Cruiser... This can be avoided by careful driving! ...
