Welcome to the Cascade Gateway visitor region!

Follow the rivers east into the Cascades Gateway, where forested valleys lead to alpine lakes, granite cliffs, and sweeping mountain views. Small communities welcome travelers who prefer life a little off the beaten path. Here, guides share their love of climbing, hiking, and river adventures while miles of forest trails invite you to explore or find a moment of quiet. Spend the day chasing waterfalls and big views, then wander historic downtowns for local shops, cozy cafés, and stories shared under star-filled skies.
