After a long day outdoors Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a great spot to spend a night or two; nearby you find the Cooper Pass Trail which is a delightful hiking trail. You're in all probability keen on lakes, Ptarmigan Lake is one of those close by, and the Lake Michael Trail is a wonderful hiking trail nearby. Whohoo, so much amusing stuff in one place! The Northern Cascade Range is unbeatable! What would winter be without some skiing at Snoqualmie,

course, this is a great region for folks who like lakes, Lower Fisher Lake is a lake close at hand. Throughout the warmest time of the year, highs ordinarily are in the 60's at Ptarmigan Lakes, and through the night it cools down
to the 40's. All through the winter highs are frequently in the 20's, and after the sun is down all through the winter temperatures at Ptarmigan Lakes plunge into the 10's. This lake is so wonderful. In case you don’t have a problem
getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Deception Creek; Deception Creek Campground is a fine local campground. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a place to stay Suncadia Resort is a fine choice, and if you
came for an overnight stay Deception Falls Campground is a perfect location to camp. Ptarmigan Lakes is a wet location that gets a large amount of precipitation; all through the month of January you get the most snow around here, and July is when it's the driest.

Bonnie Lake
 | Bonney lake Is not trained. It is drained in the winter, who ever runs the dam doesn't man it in winter so they let it drain. There was talk that they would not fill it any more....Just heard that Bonnie Lake is drained in the winter and then refilled in the Spring. Can you tell me why?... |
Stephens Pass
 | 1 PHOTO Stevens has a wide diversity of trails and runs that suits every riding style. From beginner to expert and for those terrain park junkies Stevens has you covered. I think what's special about Stevens is you can find your own little part of the mountain which is all yours, I have 4-5 little runs that cross between trails and off-piste that are all mine. Also the snow is crazy good, powder almost all the time. My favorite runs are Orion, some tree skiing near wall street, and right above the power lines. Stevens also has some pretty sweet out of bounds stuff to so check it out... |

Tucquala Lake
 | 11 miles away 1 PHOTO This ''Lake'' Is Beautiful. It really isn't a lake at all, in the summer it is a widening of the river. Very slow moving river, more like a slough, it is very clean, clear, and cold, mountain runoff. The fishing is excellent from a small boat or float tube, although the current can be somewhat strong. I fly fished, using a #14 Adams, and caught 11 rainbow and cutthroat trout between 6 & 11'', in the early to mid evening. This was in July of 2008. Camping was good, small sites along the main road. Keep your food in the cars though as Bears are definitely out.... |

Snoqualmie
 | 17 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!... |
Pacific Crest Trail - section 25
 | 17 miles away Roundtrip Distance 17.4 miles Elevation Gain 2,574 ft. This peak is trailless, meaning a portion or all of the route up the mountain is via an unmarked trail. For this particular mountain, the typical route is known as a ''herd path'' which is not much more than a worn, but unmarked trail. Some of the herd paths are easy to follow, others are not. In many instances the hiker will travel down a false herd path and eventually have to correct his/her course via backtracking. For these particular mountains, it is imperative that the hiker carry a compass (and know how to use it) and topographic map.... |

Wish Poosh Campground
 | 18 miles away We overnighted at this campsite a couple of weekends ago. The camp hosts were wonderful, they were informative and kept the grounds and the bathrooms spic-n-span clean. They were always in their golf cart putting around taking care of this or that. They scolded us for staying the night in a place we weren't supposed to, and I felt bad about that because I knew we shouldn't have stayed there but my partner insisted and it was his birthday. I knew they were just keeping order at the campground they were in charge of, and I appreciated that. Keep up the good work!... |
