Mountain Biking

Mountain bike rentals will be available in late spring once the snow is gone—probably around the first of May. Finely tuned front suspension bikes by Giant are available for rent by the hour or day. Due to high demand and limited inventory, reservations are highly recommended. Check with the Adventures Shop for the best routes. Download the TREAD Map and find other trail options. The knowledgeable Adventures staff has maps and trail riding suggestions for all abilities, from beginner to expert. The expansive trail system at Sun Mountain Lodge alone offers over 40 miles of single and double-track trails with great views of the Methow Valley and North Cascade Mountains. Beginners can pedal the nearly level scenic loop around Beaver Pond, while experts will thrill to the twisting, turning drops of Pete’s Dragon or Magpie. Whatever your ability, Sun Mountain Lodge has a mountain biking trail for you.

Boating & River Rafting

A variety of boating options are available throughout the Spring to Autumn seasons in the Methow Valley. One mile from the Lodge is Patterson Lake, open year-round for fishing.
