     If you come at the right time of year, Snoqualmie River - South Fork offers some good whitewater. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. There are some perfect whitewater spots on Dingford Creek, and Lost Lake is a nearby lake that you could check out.
This lake is so wonderful. Stirrup Creek flows through this area, and Crystal Springs Campground is a tremendous campground nearby. Meadow Mountain is clearly visible from Stirrup Lake,
 
   and don't leave Stirrup Lake without first going for a hike along the Sawmill Ridge Trail. And if you're still looking for more outdoors amusing things just keep reading. Do visit Twilight Lake right next door to Stirrup Lake, it's a picturesque lake; you can go for a hike on the Annette Lake Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a glorious spot to get some rest, and going for a hike on the Snowshoe Butte Trail is always a
 
               perfect adventure. The high level of rainfall makes Stirrup Lake a quite wet place; the month with most of the rain is January; July meanwhile is the driest month. So much cool stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range, not enough time. Snoqualmie has perfect slopes and a friendly staff, and if you came for an overnight stay Commonwealth Campground is a tremendous place to camp.
There's no way somebody can get bored here in the Northern Cascade Range. Hit the slopes at Alpental in the neighborhood, and close by Meadow Pass is a great site to go. All through the summertime at Stirrup Lake highs are generally in the 70's, and the night is rather colder of course, usually in the 50's. Throughout the winter highs are in the 40's; nighttime lows during the winter for Stirrup Lake tend to be in the 30's.

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...

Pacific Crest Trail - section 25
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....

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?...

Honey Lake
17 miles away
The lake no longer has any trails to it. All trails are gone from nature reclaiming it. The only way into lake is through quartz creek road(no vehicles)2.5 miles. From there it is a bushwack up to the ridge(2000 ft). From the ridge you can see honey lake. 1000 feet down. The bush is thick in that area (45 degree angle going up and down(or it seem that steep). 15 years ago some guys fished out the lake in one day. Before tha the fish were between 18 to 24 inches rainbow. If you can make it you deserve the good fishing. Haven't fished there in 20 years it may not have any fish in it or it has big fish (I dont know never made it close enough recently to fish). Good luck. ...

Stephens Pass

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...
