Your Outfitter, Steve Darwood Steve grew up in the high country, packing for his uncle, Ole Scott. Ole started in the pack business in 1934. In 1968, Steve started packing for Ole, then purchased the business in 1982. Steve knows the mountains well, his family homesteaded here in 1890. Steve lives three miles from the original homestead. In the off-season, Steve builds custom made riding saddles and pack equipment in his saddle shop at home. He run a few cows and spends a lot of time in the saddle. He invites you to join him in the Methow Valley to share with you the beauty that has kept his family here for the past 100 years.
Carlton, Washington Carlton is in the heart of the North Cascades, just 20 miles south of Winthrop, WA. So if you're coming from Seattle, head North on I-5 to the North Cascades Highway (20) exit. Take the highway across the mountains and into Winthrop. There's plenty of lodging in Winthrop, Twisp, or Carlton for your first night layover. Then, come morning, we'll have breakfast and head for the high country!
