     Having a delightful time in the Northern Cascade Range is painless. A pleasant trip to Pickhandle Basin is a tremendous way to spend an afternoon; Miners Lakes is a nearby lake that you could stop by. This lake is so wonderful. Bear Gap is a tremendous place to discover, and do stop by Hen Skin Lake, it's a lovely lake. Whohoo, so much cool stuff in one place! Placer Lake is excellent! Really pleasant skiing awaits you at Crystal Mountain.
This lake is so
 
   wonderful. A magnificent nearby hotel is Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit, and there's whitewater on White River for all you thrill seekers. Going for a hike along the Union Creek Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area; if you came to camp Morse Creek Campground is a tremendous place to do that. Placer Lake usually gets a good deal of precipitation; the month with most of the rain is November; the driest month of the year is July.

               Lake is one of the lakes here in the Northern Cascade Range. But wait, there's more enjoyable stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. While you're here at Placer Lake you can take a hike along the Castle Mountain Trail, and you don’t have to go far from Placer Lake to catch a glimpse of the water at Placer Lake Dam. It's a glorious idea to explore Elizabeth Creek, it's near Placer Lake, and there's no such thing as a bad day of skiing at nearby White Pass.
Crown Point is clearly visible from Placer Lake, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Chinook Creek. Summer brings highs in the 70's to Placer Lake, and through summer nights temperatures are in the 50's. Highs through the winter are frequently in the 40's, and nighttime lows in the 30's for Placer Lake. And if you're still looking for more outdoors enjoyable stuff just keep reading. Have a perfect hiking adventure along the Dewey Lake Trail, and camping at Dry Creek Campground is always a great experience.

Crystal Mountain

Crystal Mountain is a big mountain with all kinds of skiing available, easy, hard, you pick. The scenery is great, and so is the snow....

Granite Lake
10 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....

White Pass
14 miles away
...e. It's what makes White Pass a ski and snowboard paradise.
The White Pass experience starts with a bountiful snowfall (350'' in an average season) and with the highest base elevation on the crest of the Washington Cascades.
The resort strikes a perfect balance between pulse quickening steeps, wide open cruisers and gentle learning areas with 33 percent of the terrain geared toward experts, 43 percent toward intermediates and 24 percent toward beginners.
Nothing gets you to the top faster than the Great White Express, Washington's only Doppelmayr high-speed detachable quad. Great White can take you from the base to the summit in five minutes.
White Pass is recognized as one of the greatest mountains to ride in the Northwest. Natural quarter-pipes, kickers, drops, cornices and chutes challenge even the most experienced boarder. It offers a half-pipe.
It's got one of the most scenic and well-maintained cross-country areas in the Northwest. The 18 km of double track, which allows both classic and skating, circles a picturesque lake and then climbs into the Wenatchee Natio...

Snoqualmie
24 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!...
