Description

A short, very good winter experience, the Cascade Lake ski trail follows a service road down a wide trail, winding through a lodgepole forest opening into Cascade Meadows and then crossing Cascade Creek. The trail leads out across the meadow to ice-covered Cascade Lake, providing a good view of the Washburn Range to the north and northeast.
