These mountains rock, just look at all the exciting stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. Have a great hiking adventure along the Goose Prairie Trail; Pleasant Valley Lake is not the only site nearby, Bumping Lake is a nearby lake. This lake is so wonderful.
 
               If you need a spot to stay Suncadia Resort is a pleasant choice. So many fun things to do at Pleasant Valley Lake, so little time. Stay the night at Hells Crossing Campground, of course you could also take a look at Kettle Lake since you're here; it's not far at all.
While you're here at Pleasant Valley Lake you can take a hike along the American Ridge Trail, and it's a wonderful idea to stop by Kettle Creek. On a great day at Pleasant Valley Lake you can take a hike along the Goat Creek Trail, and if you like skiing, you're in luck; Crystal Mountain is rather near. Pleasant Valley Lake is one of the lakes here in the Northern Cascade Range.
This lake is so wonderful. Pleasant Valley Campground is a fine campground nearby, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Bumping River.

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....

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....

White Pass
15 miles away
...s after the day is over.
What really makes it special though, is the friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. 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,...

Rimrock Lake
17 miles away
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....

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!...
