The Methow Valley is beloved by nearly all who have passed through and stayed in this incredible place. The broad hay-swept valley is flanked by impressive peaks that offer countless recreational opportunities year-round. The Methow serves as the eastern gateway to North Cascades National Park and provides access to more than 680,000 acres of wilderness in the Pasayten and Lake Chelan-Sawtooth areas. Due to the hard work of tireless conservation advocates, the valley has a strong legacy of protecting the wildlands and waters of the region.
