If you want to make a beer that's close to the original the best starting point is the brewery website. They often have information that will give you some good hints at what sort of mash temperatures you should be using.
If you look at Bell's website you will see that they give the starting gravity at 1064 and the abv. is 7% so it would be a lower mash temp.

SNPA is given in Plato - 13.2 starting to 2.8 finishing

AleSmith's IPA is 1.072 with an abv of 7.25% so it is probably mashed at a higher temperature

One way I like to try and track down a reliable recipe is searching the web for articles where the brewer or brewery have released the recipe. This list is useful and reliable :

Other ways to get reliable recipes is to ask on here, search other websites where homebrewers discuss the recipe you are after in detail trying to clone it or email the brewery (I've had mixed success getting advice but it does work sometimes).
Remember that if you like sweet beer you will get a bigger hangover if you over do it and follow Scotty's advice and DO NOT overdo the crystal malts, too much crystal malt and Pacific West Coast hops are a train wreck.
