Sightseeing
This is our favorite place to take family when they come see us. We go to the south side of the Mountain called Paradise. Check out all the beautiful waterfalls on the way up to Paradise. Go snowshoeing in the winter, and hiking in the summer! It's an amazing place! I proposed to my wife on top of Panoramic Point!

City/town information
We love going to the little town of Onalaska, WA to hike around Carlisle Lake. It's about a 1 mile loop around the lake. At certain times of the year you see people fishing as well as bald eagles. It's great!
