The summit of this pass is marked by a rustic stone-and-wood archway that happens to be part of the legendary Pacific Crest Trail. If you want to hop off your bike for a minute, there's a pretty, short nature trail here with great views of Mt. Rainier, the Cascade Mountains, and Tipsoo Lake.

Sand Lake is very shallow and access to the lake is not that easy. It is surrounded by sandy zones which likely led to its name.

Deer Lake has lots of room for tents with views over the turquoise water. Pine trees will provide you with shade and the lake itself is very inviting for a dip.
