Methow Valley

Kumi, come back! You left and the rain has returned!


We spent the past few days exploring the towns in the Methow Valley: Mazama, Winthrop, and Twisp. Winthrop is the largest of the three and has an old Wild West theme going on. We had wonderful warm, sunny weather and clear skies for the first time in a long while. On our first morning, we hiked to the Cedar Creek Falls to check out the hydraulic forces. More and more wildflowers are popping up each time we step on a trail, and Colin got a plants of the Pacific Northwest guide, so now we are able to identify them, which is fun. After Misa comes back from her interviews, hopefully we will return to the area and get a few more beautiful days to explore the impressive trail system there and visit the one yoga studio.

The rolling huts were a nice change to the truck for a few nights. They are comfortable, clean, spacious, and have nice balconies. We recommend them to anyone passing through the Methow area, although there are a number of cabins you can rent as well for a similar price. And with a cabin you'd also get a full kitchen...
