On a clear day you can see forever . . . . especially from Hart's Pass. Explore the backcountry, travel the groomed trails and get to know the valley from the seat of a snowmobile.

Stop by the Methow Valley Ranger District office to find out where some of the best snowmobile riding in the valley is happening. (509) 997-2131. The Methow Valley has access to about half of the county's 384 miles of groomed snowmobile trails.

 

One of the more popular rides is from the Boulder Creek SnoPark (in the Methow Valley) over to Conconully via Baldy Pass (in the Okanogan Valley). Once in Conconully, snowmobilers can gas up and stop for a bite to eat, since Conconully is one of two towns in Washington that permit snowmobiling on the town streets. Once you're in town, you have access to numerous trails in the Okanogan National Forest right from Conconully.

The annual Conconully Christmas parade of snowmobiles, with red and green cellophane taped over their lights, makes for a colorful display for the holiday season. Don't miss this event in December. More information about Conconully call 877-826-9050

Up-to-date information on snowmobile conditions, maps and county roads open for snowmobiling is available from the Okanogan County Dept. of Public Works at 509 422-7324.
