Perpetuating, Protecting, Enhancing, and Sharing the Heritage of the Stehekin Community
The Latest From Stehekin
Standing Strong for Stehekin
The Stehekin Valley has drawn people deep into the indescribably beautiful and vast wilderness of the North Cascades since the late 1800’s. The striking beauty of the surrounding peaks and independent lifestyle attracted explorers, miners, homesteaders, and horse packers as a beloved place to settle. Stehekin settlers and community created the warm hospitality of lodging and meals, serving visitors from all over the world as they traveled up the lake.
The respect for our heritage and the fierce love of place is still alive and strong in Stehekin. We remain as a year round community with that same awe of the mountains, living by the rule of the seasons and the desire to share our home with the visitor.
Stehekin Heritage exists to champion:
* The rights of private land ownership in the valley
*The vitality of private families and small businesses
*The historical and cultural significance of Stehekin’s private sector
*The recognition that this community is a living treasure–worthy of supporting, and preserving
We face the very real threat of extinction if we cannot stand up to continually voiced environmental agendas that prioritize nature over humans, and total federal ownership of Stehekin. Our remaining private lands are precious but in peril.
Please join us. Your support ensures that the families and residents of Stehekin continue to thrive, and welcome visitors for generations to come.
