Briefly
about the general area:
Just can't get enough of Icicle Trail. There's so much to do here at Icicle Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Johnny Creek Campground is a good spot for that, and Drury Falls is always fun to check out.
Leavenworth Ranger District is
a forest in the neighborhood of Icicle Trail that you can go to; a short journey to Soda Spring is always worthwhile. Ladies Pass is a pleasant location to take a look at right next door to Icicle Trail; why not a little side visit to Big Slide Creek. So much exciting stuff to
do in the Northern Cascade Range, not sufficient time. A pleasant place like Ewing Basin here at Icicle Trail is too delightful to miss; unsurprisingly Bob Creek is a striking stream that is worth stopping at.
A delightful place for whitewater paddling in the vicinity of Icicle
Trail is Icicle Creek, and Timothy Meadow is a splendid place here at Icicle Trail. There's no way somebody can get bored here in the Northern Cascade Range. Stay the night at Ida Creek Campground, and since you're here you must take a look at Lake Lorraine Point.
