Beautiful Waptus Lake has much to offer visitors. This lake is one of the great places here in the Northern Cascade Range. The high level of rain makes Waptus Lake a pretty wet location; the month with most of the snow is January while July is generally the driest month. So many entertaining things to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too brilliant to be true. Head up to Stephens Pass and strap some skis to your feet, and close by you hit upon the Lake
