Visitors come by boat or float
plane to experience the fjord-like valley surrounded by 8,000 ft peaks
offering fine lodging, outdoor activities and over 100 years of history at the
head-waters of Lake Chelan. There are no roads to Stehekin. Step
back in time ... no freeways, no TV, a one room school, a single community
phone, and nature's glory all around. This friendly community borders the
North Cascades National Park and invites you to share this rare valley lost in
time.We visited
Stehekin in the middle of the summer and the temps reached over 100
degrees. Talk about hot. But that did not deter us from enjoying
ourselves immensely. The ferry ride up is breath taking and the lodge is
quaint and well-maintained. There's a restaurant at the lodge which
serves a reduced menu, but everything was tasty.
The best part of
our trip to Stehekin was the bakery. It's about two miles to the north,
but well worth the walk.
Or better yet, rent a bicycle. Stehekin
offers the best remote getaway in Washington State.
