Early fall is the time for hiking in the high alpine areas. Since
snow lingers there until mid-August, late August and early September
is the best time of the year to experience the beauty above the tree
line.
The apples of Okanogan Country are
world-famous and fall is apple harvest time! Try a Macintosh, Fuji,
or Golden Delicious for a healthy, tasty treat!
