| | Life's too short to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Northern Cascade Range. Root Lake is a great place to visit for more than one day, Boat Landing Campground is a great place to camp nearby; the best way to spend a winter day is on the slopes of close by White Pass. This lake is so wonderful. Go for a hike on the Twin Sisters Trail, and if you don't mind getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Bumping River. All year is a delightful time | |
