The Stillaguamish—Sauk River Valleys are the destinations of the Central Cascades.

This verdant valley is a mecca for river rafters, hikers, van campers, mountain bikers, and anyone else who likes to roam places that are still truly wild.

Visiting the towns of the Skykomish-Snohomish River Valleys feels like a trip back in time. Here, you can linger in bakeries, boutiques, and vintage shops, sip local coffee alongside some of the friendliest folks around, and hop from farm stand to farm stand, feasting on berries in the summer and picking pumpkins in the fall. Relax in small town diners after a day of skiing, swimming, or hiking. Launch a white-water rafting trip from a historic mining village. Then, take in the lush river landscapes and rural vistas from a hot air balloon.
Canyon Falls
