Great place to check out artifacts and learn about the early days of settling in the Methow valley area. There is a great deal of fascinating information available here and many interesting pieces of mining and other equipment to check out. Even though the buildings are closed due to the covid pandemic there are many informative plaques to read as you walk around the buildings and learn about what life was like in the area over 100 years ago. If you visit Winthrop and have any interest and history, this is a place you cannot miss checking out.

For the past 30 years, we have spent a week in the Methow Valley in the summer camping, hiking, biking and kayaking on the Methow River. Many visitors float the river on whatever floaty thing they can find. We always take our inflatable kayaks and float from Winthrop to Twisp. It's a blast! Takes about 3-5 hours depending on the amount of flowing water for a particular year. Bring your favorite beverages and sunscreen.

Horseback riding in the Cascades was on my list of wanna dos! My son, his wife, my husband and I had a private one hour guided trail ride. It was superb! I am the only experienced rider and they matched us really well to our horses. Our guide, Maddie, was excellent! It was beautiful, fun, and well done. I highly recommend them! Private rides are a little more expensive, but worth it!

The tour was a great, informative visit and well worth 60 minutes to learn about the elite crew who fight forest fires by parachuting into rugged terrain. Tour is somewhat informal and packed with insight, history and great explanations along the way. You get the history of parachuting and how it was adopted into forest service. You get to see the gear, both current and historical and a chance to see how parachutes are folded. If you're feeling strong, you can try the 'feats of strength' by lifting a loaded backpack. Good for all ages.

We saw the sign for the fish hatchery and decided to check it out. So glad we did - fun and educational for all ages. The volunteer host gave us a great tour of the facility and explained the life cycle of salmon and why we have fish hatcheries. We saw the small fry tanks and huge salmon that had just returned from the ocean in another tank. Best of all we got to feed the trout and created a feeding frenzy - they were HUNGRY! Amazing facility.
