Glacier Peak Wilderness Area

Glacier Peak Wilderness Area.

This photo was taken at Fish Lake in the Cascade mountains. It's located off Steven's Pass (on Hwy 2) NW of Leavenworth, WA. Lake Wenatchee is also nearby and has a very popular State Park which, of course, was full. We found a nice site at Tumwater Campground off Hwy 2 and made it our base camp for the next 3 days. Tumwater is a very large Forest Service campground with 88 sites. The sites are perfect for tents or small RV's. It was uncrowded and the sites are surrounded by shrub walls, which makes them nice and private.

Fish Lake is about the only place that allows fishing in this area of the Cascades.
In most other places the waters are protected.

The White River is located in the Glacier Peak wilderness area.
Twin Lakes is also nearby, but be prepared for a 3 mile hike on a forest service trail!
