Deception Falls

Reviewed By MichaelH7944

Took a day trip up towards Stevens Pass and found this interesting gem along the way. Parking lot was closed due to COVID19 but several areas to pull off along the highway. Be careful, traffic is zooming by. Easy walk on groomed trail and stairs down to viewing areas. Pedestrian bridge crosses creek to other side to walk under highway bridge. Very fast flowing creek in wet season. Short nature trail also here down to main river. Well worth the stop when passing through.

Stevens Pass Ski Area

This ski area in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest offers both day and nighttime skiing.

Reviewed By realellierobb - Orlando, United States

This is the best skiing resort in Western Washington, it has multiple mountains, for experienced riders, the easiest one is the, Daisy, it always is the longest wait though, so I recommend night skiing with your teens and Pre-teens, my dad always takes me there, and my 5th period teacher loves it there, so does everyone else I know that, skis or snowboards.
