     This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Cascade Range. So much fun stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too great to be true. Upper Palisades Lake is tremendous enough to spend more than a day at, Dry Creek Campground is a tremendous local campground, and a day on the slopes of Crystal Mountain is just what you need. The warmest time of the year at Upper Palisades Lake arrives with high temperatures in the 70's. For the duration  
   of the moonlight hours it's typically in the 50's. Highs through the wintertime are usually in the 40's; nighttime lows in the 30's for Upper Palisades Lake.

The skiing at White Pass is wonderful, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then,
 
               we recommend White River. Going for a hike along the Sun Top Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this vicinity, and no need to travel far to have a look at attention-grabbing stuff like The Palisades.

This lake is so wonderful. While you're here at Upper Palisades Lake it's a tremendous idea to stop at Bear Park, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always check out nearby Lower Palisades Lake.

Granite Lake
18 miles away
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
20 miles away
... 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, drops, cornices and chutes challenge even the most experienced boarder. It offers a half-pipe.
It's got one of the most scenic and well-maintained cross-country areas in the Northwest. The 18 km of double track, which allows both classic and skating, circles a picturesque lake and then climbs into the Wenatchee National Forest.
The White Pass Learning Center has developed a wide variety of programs for all ages and abilities. Highly-trained instructors are there, ready to help you to le...

Snoqualmie

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...
