Briefly about the general area:
Why not camp
at Quartz Creek Big Trees Campground since you're here at Pine Creek Trail, and unsurprisingly Bear Creek flows through this area.
You might want to pay a visit to Ape Canyon if you're here at Pine Creek Trail, and a spree to Pine Creek Trail wouldn't be complete without taking
a look at Loowit Falls. Be careful coming to the Northern Cascade Range, you might not ever wanna return back home again. You must go to Duck Bay when you're here at Pine Creek Trail; there are some splendid whitewater spots on Muddy River. Yeah, come here to Pine Creek Trail for
a glorious time. A spree to Sugar Bowl rejuvenates the spirit, and if you're here, you could stop at Smith Creek.
Yeah, come up here to the Northern Cascade Range for a nice time. Camping is available at Swift Forest Campground; whitewater paddling is not for everybody but
if it's for you then, we recommend Lewis River - North Fork. Plains of Abraham is a splendid site to check out, and a short journey to Harmony Falls is always worthwhile.
