Here are a few of our favorite recommendations for a Cle Elum bleisure trip itinerary.
Experience Premier Mountain Golf
Suncadia Resort, a premier Washington State destination in its own right, features championship golf on three award-winning courses-a business traveler's dream. Surrounded by rolling pine forests and the towering peaks of the Cascades, the thirty-six holes total of mountain golf offer a challenge to seasoned pros and leisure players alike. The Rope Rider course challenges experienced golfers with more than 7,300 yards of classic Washington State golf. The gem of Suncadia, however, is the Prospector course which was designed by the Arnold Palmer Course Design Company. This wonderfully maintained 18-hole golf course is a challenging, yet playable mountain course for all skill levels. The 10th hole offers dazzling views of the Cascades and Cle Elum River valley from its tee set more than 120 feet above the fairway!
Let Your Creativity Flow
Offering unique art for sale, classes, art supplies, studio space, and more, Pacific Crest Creatives brings art to the community of Upper Kittitas County. Visit the carefully curated gallery for a boost of creativity by participating in an art class or simply exploring the space, full of works by talented regional artists. The hand-selected pieces that fill the gallery are unusual, unique, collectible, and are unlike anything you would find at your average booth event or standard art gallery. A stroll through the space and an educational workshop will be just the refresher you need to seamlessly transition from leisure time to work time.
