Fools Gold Lake
Fools Gold Lake are a set of two small freshwater lakes located on a plateau a short distance north of Big Snow Mountain, in King County, Washington. The lake can be accessed from the trail that leads to Myrtle Lake, which is West of Fools Gold Lake. Big Snow Lake is over the southern slope of the lake plateau towards Big Snow Mountain. The outflow of Fools Gold Lake joins the creeks from Marlene Lake, Moira Lake and other snow melting creeks to empty as the inflow of Lake Dorothy, which outflows as the East Fork of the Miller River.

Big Snow Mountain
Big Snow Mountain is a prominent mountain summit located north of Snoqualmie Pass in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness in eastern King County of Washington state. It is part of the Cascade Range and is situated on land managed by Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Snoqualmie and Skykomish Rivers. The nearest higher peak is Overcoat Peak, to the east-southeast. Climate Big Snow Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.Beckey, Fred W. Cascade Alpine Guide, Climbing and High Routes. Seattle, WA: Mountaineers Books, 2008. Weather fronts originating in the Pacific Ocean travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snow onto the Cascades ( Orographic lift). As a result, the west side of the Cascades experiences high precipitatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lake Dorothy is a lake in King County, Washington. First labeled on Oliver Phelps Anderson's "New Map of the County of King, State of Washington, 1894"; the name was bestowed by Anderson for his daughter Dorothy Louise Anderson (1893-1912), a member of Sigma Kappa sorority. It is one of the largest lakes in the area and is the source of the East Fork Miller River. Waterfalls A number of waterfalls surround Lake Dorothy. Florence Falls () is located over a promontory a short distance downstream from the outlet. As Florence Falls reaches Camp Robber Creek a second waterfall is produced by a series of slides and cascades, Camp Robber Cascades. Access The lake can be reached by the Dorothy Lake Trail which is about 2 miles to the lake. The trail continues another 2 miles along the lake’s shore to its south end. After that it continues on, climbing up from the lake and eventually climbing over a ridge before descending to Bear Lake and the Taylor River.http://www.vtrail.c ...

Miller River
The Miller River is a river in King County, Washington. Named for 1890s prospector John Miller, it is a tributary of the Skykomish River, which it joins near the community of Miller River (which was, prior to World War I, known as Berlin). The Miller River is about long from the confluence of its main tributaries, the East Fork and West Fork. Miller River Campground is located just downriver from the confluence. West Fork The West Fork Miller River begins at the ridge dividing it and the Taylor River. It flows northeast from there, converging with the East Fork near the West Fork Campground. Its only officially named tributaries are Cleopatra and Coney Creeks. Cleopatra Creek drains a basin just north of the West Fork’s source while Coney Creek drains high-elevation Coney Lake. Just above its mouth, the West Fork drops over two small waterfalls, Borderline Falls then Immigration Falls. Access along the West Fork road is currently gated, washed out, and grown over (as of 201 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lakes Of King County, Washington
A lake is an area filled with water, localized in a basin, surrounded by land, and distinct from any river or other outlet that serves to feed or drain the lake. Lakes lie on land and are not part of the ocean, although, like the much larger oceans, they do form part of the Earth's water cycle. Lakes are distinct from lagoons, which are generally coastal parts of the ocean. Lakes are typically larger and deeper than ponds, which also lie on land, though there are no official or scientific definitions. Lakes can be contrasted with rivers or streams, which usually flow in a channel on land. Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams. Natural lakes are generally found in mountainous areas, rift zones, and areas with ongoing glaciation. Other lakes are found in endorheic basins or along the courses of mature rivers, where a river channel has widened into a basin. Some parts of the world have many lakes formed by the chaotic drainage patterns left over from the last ice ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
