Chelan Lakeshore Trail HD Video Description:
Hey guys! For Memorial Day Weekend this year (2021), Tessa and I took a trip to NorthCentral Washington to backpack the Chelan Lakeshore Trail. We couldn’t have had a better time! The weather was perfect, and the scenery was amazing. The trip all started in Chelan where we hopped on a ferry called ‘Lady of the Lake’ that we booked about a month in advanced. It took it us up the lake (the further you get, the more remote it becomes) approximately 34 miles where we were dropped off at the Prince Creek Campground/Trailhead for the Shoreline Trail. Over the next two days, we bagged 20 miles and ascended 3,000 vertical feet. So where does the trip end? After approximately 20 miles, we popped into a small town called Stehekin that has a population of about 80 residents. It’s tiny, but peaceful. A fun fact about Stehekin is that there are no roads that lead into this little town. The only way to access it is by ferry, plane, or on foot. We chose the “on foot” option, and we’re glad we did. Once we arrived into the town, we rented a couple bicycles from a small little bike shop, and rode an additional four plus miles to Harlequin Campground where we stayed a couple nights. We relaxed, and really just took in our views of the Stehekin River in which we camped on. We eventually biked our way back into the little town, hopped on the “Lady Express” ferry, and headed back to Chelan to our car. This trip was second to none, and what really capped it was Stormy Mountain Brewing Company that we stopped at before we headed home. I recommend the Brown Ale! If you guys enjoyed this video, be sure to stay tuned for the full “Vlog” style episodes where we go into more detail regarding everything we saw and did on this trip! This is highly recommended as an early season trip. Thanks for watching!
