A trip to the head of Lake Chelan is a journey into an unspoiled frontier, forgotten by time. Nestled in the deepest gorge in North America, Stehekin is the place to get away from it all. The most remote wilderness community on scenic Lake Chelan, Stehekin has no land-phone service or television. Popular with hikers, backpackers, canoeists, boaters, bicyclists and campers, the adventure getting there is half the fun.

Pitch a tent and camp in a beautiful remote setting or set out on a kayak tour of Lake Chelan's upper estuary. Wander along one of the many trails leading from Stehekin on a day hike or take an extended backpacking adventure. In the winter months and well into spring, this valley is a winter wonderland with endless miles of secluded snowshoeing territory to explore. Cradled in the heart of the Cascade Mountains, you can only access this North Cascades destination by passenger ferry, boat, plane, horseback or trail.
