Summer in Cascade

Sweet summer sounds and smells abound in Cascade. Listen to the birds chatter, the river rapids rush over rocks, the crickets chirp a soothing evening song, and the pleasant sound of kids giggling and having fun as they splash in the lake. Smell the fresh mountain air, the wildflowers in bloom, gourmet food, and freshly baked cookies. There are so many things to enjoy in Cascade during the summer!
