ABOUT STEHEKIN...

If you haven’t yet been to Stehekin, it’s a treat! Lots of hiking trails. Rent a quad or bicycles and run up to the Pacific Crest Trail and Rainbow Falls. Visit the apple orchard and pick fresh apples to take home. Check out the salmon spawning. Take in the glorious fall color. Visit Carl at his organic farm for fresh dahlias, vegetables, and goat cheese.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a complete Stehekin experience without a visit to The Stehekin Bakery. Their pecan sticky buns are a MUST! However, their sandwiches, soups, and all the other baked goods are delicious.
