Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend American River, and you could always explore Mosquito Valley. High temperatures at Round Lake during the summertime months are in the 60's, and the night is a little chillier of course, generally in the 40's.

This lake is so wonderful. Hiking is a popular thing to do around Round Lake; Blankenship Meadows Trail is a good local trail, and a tour to Blankenship Meadows revives the soul.

that gets lots of rain; January is when you get the most snow here, and July is the month with the least moisture. Man, is there lots of entertaining stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. A lake nearby is Summit Lakes, and get
your heart beating on the tremendous whitewater of Bumping River. So many fun things to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too delightful to be true. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Sand Ridge Trail, and why not camp
at Bumping Lake - Wenatchee National Forest while you're here at Round Lake.
The slopes of Crystal Mountain are so inviting noone can resist; there's great hiking along the Indian Creek Trail. Tumac Mountain is easy to spot from Round Lake; Blakenship Lakes is a nearby lake that you could have a look at.

Sand Ridge Trail
| The hike started out on the dry sandy rocky trail and with a slight grade up. After the 0.75 of a mile and 300 foot gain or so there was a fork; shortly after the you're ?entering the wilderness? sign, trail 1147, or Little Buck Trail is to the right. We haven't been on it, but it is suppose to be about a 0.9 of a mile and end up at the Indian Creek Trailhead and campground. After that fork Sand Ridge Trail, 1104, goes up for about 1 mile, and the foot gain for that mile is about 900 feet. According to the maps and the GPS we were using, the trail begins at about 3400 feet and goes to about 4600 feet. The last mile is like a standard up and down hike until the Shellrock Lake Trail junction, trail 1142 to the left, after that we don't know. Overall, for about the first 2 miles there is a 1200 foot gain in elevation, and then it evens out for a while. However, we had to turn around when we thought we were almost to the Shellrock Lake Trail junction due to a couple feet of snow pack and melt off.... |
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.... |
White Pass
| ...scade Mountains, is a place blessed with abundant snowfall and unspoiled beauty.
It has a wide variety of terrain for all abilities, a ski school with programs for everyone and places to relax and enjoy good times 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,... |
