Lake Chelan National Recreation Area

A friend asked if the lake was still clear … and I am happy to report YES, it is still super clear and beautiful beyond measure!

One of the bonuses of our Lake Chelan National Recreation Area iadventure was the journey there. We passed through many unique towns along the Stehekin River with charming names like Winthrop, Twisp, Carlton, and Methow. We had to stop a few times for the crossing of a family of ducks and a white-tailed deer, which I am always happy to watch in awe.

Ryder doesn’t drive at the age of 17, but one of my favorite life lessons to teach my children is the love of a road trip. He understands that you need to gas up at the start of every day so you have a full tank to take many adventures. And a proud Mama moment when we arrived home he told me “That was really fun.” I think I’ve finally made a road-tripper out of him … such an awesome life accomplishment for me!
