Summit Chief Lake sees pretty high levels of rainfall; of all the months in a year January is the one with the most rain; July is when it's the driest. Why not camp at Foss River Campground if you're here at Summit Chief Lake.

   hours in a day to enjoy all the exciting things at Summit Chief Lake. Dutch Miller Gap is a great place to go to close by, and lakes are such peaceful locations, why not stop at Williams Lake. At Summit Chief Lake during the summer months highs are in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 50's. Through the wintertime highs are ordinarily in the 40's, and nighttime lows at Summit Chief Lake all through the winter frequently drop into  
               the 30's. This lake is so wonderful. Why not take a refreshing hike along the Kachess Ridge Trail, and if you came for an overnight stay Kachess Campground is a glorious place to camp.
So many amusing things in the Northern Cascade Range, just mind-boggling. There are some great whitewater spots on Snoqualmie River - Middle Fork; there are other places here than Summit Chief Lake, for example Lake Ivanhoe. This lake is so wonderful. If you need a place to stay Howard Johnson Snoqualmie/Summit is a brilliant choice, and there's great hiking along the Escondido Trail. Summit Chief Lake is located in the Northern Cascade Range.
Suncadia Resort is a wonderful site to get some rest, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Summit Chief Lake; Cooper Pass Trail is a good local trail. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Box Canyon Creek; gorgeous scenery and brilliant skiing is what you obtain at Stephens Pass.

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?...

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...

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....

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...

This ''Lake'' Is Beautiful. It really isn't a lake at all, in the summer it is a widening of the river. Very slow moving river, more like a slough, it is very clean, clear, and cold, mountain runoff. The fishing is excellent from a small boat or float tube, although the current can be somewhat strong. I fly fished, using a #14 Adams, and caught 11 rainbow and cutthroat trout between 6 & 11'', in the early to mid evening. This was in July of 2008. Camping was good, small sites along the main road. Keep your food in the cars though as Bears are definitely out....

Wish Poosh Campground
15 miles away
We overnighted at this campsite a couple of weekends ago. The camp hosts were wonderful, they were informative and kept the grounds and the bathrooms spic-n-span clean. They were always in their golf cart putting around taking care of this or that. They scolded us for staying the night in a place we weren't supposed to, and I felt bad about that because I knew we shouldn't have stayed there but my partner insisted and it was his birthday. I knew they were just keeping order at the campground they were in charge of, and I appreciated that. Keep up the good work!...
