winter nights at Summit Lakes are in the 10's. Whohoo, so much enjoyable stuff in one place! Summit Lakes rocks! Take a hike on the McAllister Trail; you get a brilliant vista of Spiral Butte from here. Not enough hours in a day to
enjoy the Northern Cascade Range. The Sand Ridge Trail offers hiking at its best, and if you need a place to stay Suncadia Resort is a magnificent choice. This lake is so wonderful. There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing
at nearby Crystal Mountain; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Tieton River - South Fork. Summit Lakes is a quite wet place regularly with a lot of precipitation; the month of January is the wettest with most of the snow, and July meanwhile is the driest month.

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.... |
