Summer

Summer in Chelan: There are few things like it. The sun shines late into the evening and the air is warm through the night. The glacier-fed lake is crystal-clear blue and the hillsides green and lush. During harvest season, the smell of apples fills the air.

The Lake Chelan Valley has grown in many ways in recent years. You are sure to find something for everyone in this spectacular setting.
