If you want a little side
spree, try Triangle Pass, and get your heart beating on the good whitewater of Panther Creek. This is a really good river. The cheerful folks of Hood River like to hang out close by. All year is a brilliant time in the Northern Cascade Range if you fancy the outdoors. Some of the
water nearby flows, like Berge Creek; if you came to camp Wind Mountain Resort is a magnificent place to do that.
So much amusing stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range, too good to be true. Little Wind River is a great local stream, and a great site for whitewater
paddling is Wind River. Cascade Crest Trail is perfect enough to spend more than a day at, Bigfoot Park is a perfect local campground, and since you're here at Cascade Crest Trail it's a good idea to explore South Prairie.
