There may still be some snow on the ground, but there's no doubt that Spring is in the air! Temperatures are warming up, the birds are returning and starting on their nests, and the local cycling shop has begun its tune-up special. Spring is a fantastic time in the Methow Valley with the beautiful wildflowers, mix of recreational opportunities, and perfect moderate temperatures. And since the North Cascades Pass typically remains closed for the first half of the season, it's also quiet, and that means great bargains on lodging!

We have some fantastic Spring specials this year, and we're continuing to add more. Between now and the end of April, most of the local inns are offering heavily discounted spring rates and many of the premier vacation homes are renting at up to 40% off. Just look for the bright-green Specials when browsing Methow Valley lodging.

Spring is our personal favorite season. It's a bit of a local's secret that the Methow Valley is arguably at its most splendid during the least-visited time of the year. If you enjoy the sun on your face, the trails to yourself, and a landscape carpeted with wildflowers, Spring is the time to come!
