Spring
Winter snow gives way to lush meadows and crystal clear lakes. The valley opens up to fishing, mountain biking, white-water rafting, spring skiing and snowmobiling in the high country.

Summer
Long summer days and warm nights enable backpackers and those on horseback to explore over 5 million acres of public lands. The North Cascade National Park, Pasayten Wilderness, Okanogan National Forest and Chelan Sawtooth Wilderness surround the Methow Valley.

Fall
Travel either the North Cascades or International Loop on one of the world's most scenic drives. In mid October, the height of fall foliage, red vine maples, golden aspen and larch put on a spectacular show. A must for photographers.

Winter
Ski from your doorstep with access to North America's largest Nordic trail system. Over 175km of professionally groomed trails and powder snow make the Methow a world class ski destination. For those who prefer to ride the snowy slopes, 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails await you.
