Can you expand on this? I have relatives in Keizer and Eugene OR and have always wanted to go to Washington.
If you are looking for something "touristy " then it's not the place for you.
If you want incredible beauty, few people, and outdoor activities then you'll like it.
Stehekin is at the northern tip of the incredibly beautiful, 55 mile long Lake Chelan. There isn't a lot of development in Stehekin. Theres a modest motel, several b&b, an amazing bakery, and lots of outdoor activities. There's a cool historic orchard and a lot of black bear. We even saw silver phase blacks. The Stehekin River has great fishing and I assume the lake does as well but I never fished the lake. There are some outfitters based there that offer some horse pack trips and I'm not sure what else.
There are only 3 methods to travel to Stehekin because there is no road access to Stehekin from the outside.
You can take an enjoyable ferry, or an incredible sea plane, or hike ~15(?) mile in thru North Cascades National Park (also amazing). The Pacific Crest trail leads thru the valley. We've done the ferry and the seaplane.
Ferry and floatplane originate from the town of Chelan. If you like wineries you'll love it there.
No roads lead to Stehekin but there is a 15 mile long road within the valley. There's a shuttle bus that runs the valley and the cabin we rented provided a van for us to use as we pleased.
Also recommend driving route 20(?) Thru North Cascades. It's one of the great drives in the USA. We like the small town of Winthrop along route 20.
Man, typing this makes me want to go back!
