Hiking

One will never run out of options for hiking. With trails that take you from the valley floor to the mountain tops, from the national forests to state wildlife lands to the North Cascades National Park there is scenery here that cannot be matched!

On the sun-kissed east slope of the North Cascades, the Methow Valley has become a multisport mecca. The lure of gold ore attracted early settlers. Today, gold of another sort—the iconic spring-blooming balsamroot, abundant summer sunshine, and awesome autumn larch—has recreationists seeing riches.
