One of the most scenic lakes in the Pacific Northwest, Lake Chelan is in a glacial trough extending 55 miles into the Cascade Mountains. More then 1,500 feet deep, the lake bottom drops to 400 feet below sea level at its deepest point.

This clear blue lake is fed by 27 glaciers and 59 streams.

• Attend one of Chelan's annual events such as the Bach Festival in July, the Salmon Derby in May, or the Mountain Bike Festival in April.
