The Methow River runs cold all summer long, which makes it the best hangout on these 90 degree sunny days. Lost River at the head waters of the Methow is shallow enough right now for soaking, splashing, and playing along it’s many exposed sand bars.

Blue Skies, wildflowers, snow capped mountains, rushing rivers, and pine scented breezes. This is not a Hollywood set, this is reality. Give the Methow Valley a visit and do some spring hiking.

Crews are working hard from both directions to open the pass. I am waiting for you on the east side! The weather is in the high 70s in the day and sun is here. Schedule time with me in advance for your first spring tour. Feel the sun on your face. It will make your heart happy.

The sun, snow, vistas, and smells are chart topping today. Even if you have never skiied before, you CAN get this far from the Winthrop trailhead. Private views that are only accessible to you in winter via the Methow Trails are yours to explore. Let yourself fall in love with the Methow Valley all over again this Valentines. Helping you find ways to justify blowing off work- that is part of my job!

Science fiction in Mazama. If you have never stood on the bridge crossing Early Winters Creek in winter, you are missing surreal experience. The water color of the creek is naturally pale aqua blue. The ice freezes around the rocks under water first and creates a gooey living organism effect. Very cool. Early Winters Creek flows onto Freestone Inn’s property. Checkout the new Sandy Butte Bar at Freestone while you are in the area.

Happy Holidays from Winthrop WA! The air is cold and the sun is bright. Skiing at Sun Mountain and thinking of you 🙂
