You're sure to bump into some cheerful people from Hood River here, and dry warm beds await you at Skamania Lodge. Through the summertime months highs here at Race Track Lakes get into the 70's.

And if that's not sufficient there's lots more entertaining stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range.

               Inn Stevenson is a good spot to get some rest. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful.
You definitely ought to have a thing about Race Track Lakes. Hiking along the East Crater Trail is pleasant fun, and Rush Creek has a great whitewater paddling spot nearby. This lake is so wonderful. If you came for an overnight stay Cultus Creek Campground is a good spot to camp, and in the event that you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Panther Creek. Race Track Lakes sees pretty high levels of rainfall; the month with most of the rain is December, and July meanwhile is the driest month.
This lake is so wonderful. One of the main marks of the surroundings of Race Track Lakes is Berry Mountain.

Wind River
Hello,

Anybody who puts-in where the road map link on the webpage indicates and expects to find class IV-V water is going to be disappointed. The put-in is on the right bank slightly downstream of where the map shows the take-out (basically, at Stabler) and the take-out is on the right bank a half-mile or so above High Bridge (where the red line crosses the river on the map).

Regards,
Will...
Hello,

I run this section of the Wind regularly and I have never heard anybody refer to it as Ranger Station Close to Stabler to High Bridge. It's common names are Stabler to High Bridge and the Upper Wind. The putin is much closer to Stabler than to the Ranger Station near Stabler (which is actually closer to the put-in on Trout Creek).

Regards,
Will...

Pacific Crest Trail - section 23
11 miles away
Roundtrip Distance 16 miles
Elevation Gain 2,620 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....

Herman Creek Trail
14 miles away
The Herman Creek Trail was constructed for foot access to the old site of a wartime lookout built to spot ballon bomb sent over by Japan. There were three cabins just past the cliff road and the end of the Herman Creek cut-off trail which statrted at seven and a half mile camp in what was once Cedder Swamp just below Mud Lake....

Little Ashes Lake
14 miles away
Since the previous post was negative, I was skeptical about fishing there. I sent a couple of hours fishing there at one of the few access spots to see how it fished. I was fortunate enough to land a trout about 27 inches long. Not to bad for a couple hours. Caught using a rooster tail spinner. Gotta give it a try....Little Ashes lake is a medium sized spillway from the Columbia River. There is not much public access to the lake. The lake is boundaried on the southwest side by Highway 14. and all the rest is Private property. No way to launch a boat, but I have float tubed it. There are no trails to hike around this lake. You won't want to swim in it since it is columbia river water. The fishing is unproductive as i fished it and never caught a single bass or trout, only sucker fish and perch. My advice is to just enjoy the sight of this lake, but venturing into it is a waste of time....

Kidney Lake

It's nice....

Table Mountain Trail
17 miles away
Hi, I have tried to climb this mountain, but the there are very little trail markers and the Columbian write ups on directions were not even close to actuality. I am trying to locate specific directions since there are several different forks. You have all these coordinates but if you don't have or use a GPS they are useless. Alas, you can't help me anymore than what's available out there, which is nothing really....

Cooper Spur

Very cozy little ski hill, great place for beginners....
