Self Guided North Cascades Overnight

Drive up to a look out point to take in the breathtaking views of a turquoise lake in the morning. After you've got your heart's full of this stunning lake with a backdrop of the Cascade mountains, you could go on a short 0.4 mile hike to a waterfall or a 1.5 mile trail with about 500 feet of elevation gain to take in the views of a dam.  

If you are up for more adventure in the afternoon, you can experience one of the most stunning hikes in the North Cascades, which boasts of everything from meadows to ridgeline hike to subalpine forest to emerald color lake views / access to wild flowers in summer and larches in fall time. You could either do the entire 7.2 mile loop with 2,000 feet of elevation gain or just hike to the lake at 3.4 miles with just about 700 feet of elevation gain.  

Alternatively, you could hike down to another lake (a short 0.25-0.5 mile) and go for a paddle, rent a motorboat to cruise the lake or go fishing.  

Once you book your trip, we will get in touch with you to learn your preference and will be happy to reserve your equipment for you and of course give you the exact location and details for your hikes.  

You will be staying in a warm welcome and a smoke-free environment at a local inn in a nearby town, located on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains on the Methow River.  

You will be staying in a Double Queen Standard room featuring two comfortable queen size beds, a small refrigerator, microwave oven, and satellite TV equipped with a built-in DVD player. A table and chairs is included in each room. Each room is equipped with an air conditioner.
