     The high level of rain makes Rock Lake a relatively wet place; most of the rain falls during December, and the driest month of the year is July. This lake is so wonderful. Malachite Falls is an inspiring location to pop by while here; Foss River Campground is a magnificent campground nearby. There is a brilliant hiking trail near Rock Lake called the Middle Fork Trail. Lakes? Sure, Panorama Lake is close at hand.
Stay the night at West Fork Campground,
 
   and a perfect nearby hotel is Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit. A splendid spot for whitewater paddling in the vicinity of Rock Lake is Miller River - East Fork. Whohoo, so many amusing things in one place! Rock Lake is great! Head up to Stephens Pass and strap some skis to your feet, and Malachite Peak is a peak you can observe from Rock Lake.
You just can't picture the amount of outdoors enjoyable things the Northern Cascade Range has to offer. Go for
 
               a hike on the Cooper Pass Trail, and after a long day outdoors Suncadia Resort is a fine place to spend a night or two. Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! The Northern Cascade Range is peerless! Top Lake is a splendid lake in the vicinity of Rock Lake, and in the event that you don't mind getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Foss River. This lake is so wonderful. A day on the slopes of Alpental is just what you need, and going for a hike on the Escondido Trail is always a pleasant adventure.
