DESTINATION

Cle Elum

This is the gateway to a vast recreation area encompassing the Okanogan-Wenatchee and Mount Baker-Snoqualmie national forests, and as a result nearly every conceivable outdoor recreational activity can be enjoyed. One particularly popular activity is a 3- to 4-hour raft trip down the 16-mile stretch of the Yakima River between Cle Elum and Thorp.

The 4.7-mile Coal Mines Trail follows a former Northern Pacific branch line from Flagpole Park in Cle Elum through Roslyn to the town of Ronald. Interpretive panels along the way describe the region's mining heritage.
