Historic Winthrop is located in the heart of the Methow Valley. Famed for its American Old West themed boardwalks and building facades, the locally-owned shops and restaurants offer a unique variety of treats and feasts. From old fashioned ice cream shops and "to die for" pizza to fine bistro dining, visitors will be happily well-fed. The fun doesn't stop there as you add XC skiing on groomed trails, river rafting, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, rock climbing, outdoor ice skating, wine-tasting, art galleries, museums, and more to your list of activities.
