Upper Kittitas County is the gateway to a vast wilderness area. Few other areas offer the abundance of recreational opportunities available here. Located at the foot of the Cascade Mountains with access to thousands of acres of mountain forest and high country lakes and streams, the area is a summer paradise for backpackers, campers and fishermen. In the winter, the hills and mountains draw cross-country skiers, snowmobilers and showshoers to find their own paths or follow the many groomed trails in the WenatcheeNational Forest and across state and private lands.
In the towns, museums retell the colorful local history. Cle Elum, Roslyn and South Cle Elum all have parks available for public use.
Good old-fashioned fun is scheduled throughout the year. Please see the Cle Elum/Roslyn Events Calendar click here for information on upcoming events.
