The Neighborhood:
Ursa Minor is part of a dispersed neighborhood of well-spaced homes set among the pines 3.5 miles from Mazama village. From here you’ll find easy access to the Methow Trails system for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing. Mazama offers a well-stocked store and bakery, the Goat’s Beard outdoor shop (with bike rentals), and Mazama Ski School for ski rentals and lessons. The Mazama Public House is a popular stop for food and drinks.
North Cascades National Park
Mazama is also well placed for exploring the North Cascades. Trailheads for many of the Park’s best hikes are a short drive away: about 25 minutes to Cutthroat Lake, 30 minutes to Washington Pass, and 35 minutes to Maple Pass. Staying here makes it easier to beat the crowds and find parking during peak seasons.
Getting Around:
Getting Here: From May to November, the most direct route from Seattle and the west side is via State Route 20 over Washington Pass (check WSDOT for seasonal closures). In winter, alternate routes are via I-90 and Snoqualmie Pass with Blewett Pass, or via Highway 2 over Stevens Pass. Together these form the scenic Cascade Loop. Major airports include Spokane International (180 miles, year-round) and Seattle-Tacoma International (190 miles in summer / 260 miles in winter). Regional flights are also available at Pangborn Memorial Airport in Wenatchee (102 miles).
