    Surprise Lakes is a very beautiful lake in beautiful surroundings. The Northern Cascade Range scenery is always beautiful. All through the long summer days at Surprise Lakes highs are ordinarily in the 70's. When the night sets in temperatures plunge down into the 40's. The winter brings highs down to the 30's, and after the sun is down during the wintertime temperatures at Surprise Lakes fall into the 20's. There's delightful hiking along the East Crater Trail,  
   and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Lewis River - North Fork.
The high level of rain makes Surprise Lakes a rather wet place; the wettest month of the year is mostly December, that's the one that snows the most, and July on the other hand is the driest. This lake is so wonderful. Man, is there a lot of cool stuff to do near Surprise Lakes. Get your pulse rate up on the tremendous whitewater of Quartz Creek, and
 
               Skamania Lodge is a brilliant place to get some rest.
This lake is so wonderful. Surprise Lakes is right by the Table Mountain Trail. Lakes? Sure, Frog Lake is in close proximity. If you want a brilliant time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Northern Cascade Range. South Campground is a perfect local campground; some nearby water includes North Fork Meadow Creek. Yep, outdoors enjoyable stuff truly is plentiful here in the Northern Cascade Range. The Ridge Trail offers hiking at its best, and if you came for an overnight stay Cold Spring Campground is a tremendous place to camp.
East Twin Butte is clearly visible from Surprise Lakes; not far from Surprise Lakes you'll hit upon Cold Spring Lake which is a beautiful lake.

Table Mountain Trail
Hi, I have tried to climb this mountain, but the there are very little trail markers and the Columbian write ups on directions were not even close to actuality. I am trying to locate specific directions since there are several different forks. You have all these coordinates but if you don't have or use a GPS they are useless. Alas, you can't help me anymore than what's available out there, which is nothing really....
