Step into the charming Old West–style town of Winthrop—think Leavenworth vibes, Methow Valley edition. You’ll find great shops, restaurants, and watering holes, plus a Putt-Putt course. On Sunday, the farmers market is a perfect stop to grab local produce before heading home.
There are many beautiful walking and biking trails right around the Ranch House—perfect for a relaxed stroll or an easy ride between events.
The area is full of incredible hiking with sweeping mountain views. A couple favorites include: Maple Pass Loop (7.2 miles, ~2,000 ft elevation gain) Cutthroat Pass (10 miles, ~2,000 ft elevation gain) Be sure to check trail conditions and bring plenty of water!
About a 20-minute drive from Winthrop, Sun Mountain Lodge is a beautiful mountaintop resort and a great excursion if you have some extra time during the weekend. Wander around the scenic Beaver Pond, or enjoy lunch and drinks at the lodge while taking in sweeping views of the Methow Valley.
