Your Gateway to the Wilderness: Cle Elum Lodging
There's a great wilderness in the Pacific Northwest that remains vastly unexplored. But, you can try your hand at exploring this beautiful territory when you pack up the family and book Cle Elum cabins for your next vacation. Cle Elum is located at the foot of the Cascade Mountains. As you head up the mountain peak, there are thousands of acres of high country lakes, streams and mountain forest. In the summer, take some time to hike and fish; in the winter, consider adding cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and snowmobile riding to your itinerary.
Take in the Local Culture
There's more to a Cle Elum vacation than the great outdoors. The town has museums that tell the story of the community's colorful history. The Cle Elum Telephone Museum, established in 1966, documents the switch from manual phone service to automatic dialing. There's also the Carpenter House Museum, a 1914 mansion that tells the story of Cle Elum's first successful banker. The Mines has information on mine tours, and the Coal Mines Trail passes several historic mining sites from Cle Elum to Roslyn and Ronald. The community surrounding Cle Elum lodging will give you a little taste of history and let you really appreciate the area even more.
A Short Drive to Seattle
If you're traveling to the Seattle area for business, there's no rule that requires you stay in a stiff, boring hotel. Instead, book Cle Elum cabins, bring your family along and drive into the city every day for work. It takes about one hour to drive from Cle Elum lodging to Seattle, which is as much time as some commuters spend in the car every single day. The beautiful scenery and the great time your family will have in Cascade Mountains vacation rentals will make the travel time worth it.
