Location & Getting There
Located in northeastern Washington, 49 Degrees North sits just 10 miles from the historic town of Chewelah and about an hour north of Spokane. The drive through the Colville National Forest sets the mood for a true mountain experience. The resort's position on the eastern slope of the Cascades often means better weather and lighter, drier snow than its western Washington counterparts. This accessible yet uncrowded location makes it a favorite among locals and visitors seeking authentic mountain adventure.
