Pedestrians and bikes should stay on the right except to pass. Pedestrians have the right-of-way on the paths and cyclists should give an audible signal when passing.

• While pedestrians are supposed to have the right-of-way over cars when crossing streets at crosswalks, bicycles are required to give way to cars.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

(CONT.)

To encourage our guests to develop good safety habits, The Lodge at Suncadia offers these suggestions:

PREPARE

Investigate and become familiar with the hotel’s safety features and the location of emergency exits, alarms, and fire extinguishers on your floor. Know where your room keycard is at all times.

EMERGENCY EVACUATION ACTIONS

If you are concerned that there is a fire, notify the hotel operator by dialing 0. In case of fire and you are able to leave your room, take your room keycard and go to the nearest exit. DO NOT TAKE THE ELEVATOR. Fire exit doors lead to stairwells. Enter the stairwell and close the door behind you. If possible, go down the stairs and out of the building. If you cannot, return to your room and wait for assistance. Gather in the driveway in front of The Lodge for emergency assistance and wait for further instructions.

IF UNABLE TO EVACUATE

• Fill the bathtub with water, wet sheets, and place them completely around the door. Block vents that are emitting smoke. Open terrace door only if you’re sure fresh air is available.

• Let someone know that you are in your room. If the phone works, call the operator for help and give them your room number.

• Hang a bed sheet out the window to signal fire fighters. Do not attempt to jump or climb down the bed sheet.

• Stay low if there is smoke in your room. Keep a wet cloth over your nose and mouth. If doors and walls are hot, throw water on them with the ice bucket.

• Attempt to make yourself visible to rescue forces by waving a towel while standing in the window.

• AS A LAST RESORT, only if your room fills with smoke and it is too hot to stand, KEEP LOW and head for the best possible exit.

HIKING, JOGGING, AND WALKS

Kittitas County is a hiker’s paradise with terrain for every preference, from deep forest to open desert. To the west of Suncadia is the Salmon la Sac area with over 60 square miles of forested valleys, rivers, and looming peaks. The view from the Thorp Mountain lookout is unparalleled. To the northeast, each of the Teanaway.

Valley’s three branches has fine hiking. Taneum Creek to the south is popular, especially the North Fork trail that follows the creek. In the Blewett area, try the self-guided nature walk at the pass. In the winter, the Umtanum Trail south of Ellensburg and trails near Vantage are reliably snow-free. Two hikes merit special mention: The Coal Mines Trail connects Ronald, Roslyn, and Cle Elum and can be accessed at several locations on the northern side of the valley. Informational plaques tell of coal history. Also, the marvelous Iron Horse State Park rambles from the Columbia River to Seattle, following the old Northern Pacific rail bed. It can be accessed at numerous places, including South Cle Elum and Easton. For more information contact the Cle Elum Ranger District at (509) 852-1100.

Salmon La Sac

Originally named after the French term for “Salmon in the sack”, this gorgeous area is a short distance from Roslyn and offers an amazing view of the Washington greenery. Salmon La Sac has a 10.1-mile-long hike that will take you deep into the tranquil forest, highly recommended for experienced hikers or those up to the challenge. Salmon La Sac has also been described as a wonderful place for snowshoeing and winter fun.

Lake Cle Elum

A reservoir made from a natural lake; Lake Cle Elum is the perfect place for families looking to head to the beach in the mountains. During the summer months, Speelyi Beach offers warm sands

and beautiful waters. Just a short drive past the town of Ronald, Washington; enjoy the most of the natural beauty Washington state can give.

Cooper Lake

This alpine freshwater lake is just north of Suncadia and Cle Elum that offers serene fishing experience. If you are reeling for some good fishing spots, look no further than Cooper Lake. This body of water is stocked full of fish annually during the months of May and June with rainbow trout about 1.5 pounds each. For more information on fishing at Cooper Lake, check out the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife website for the latest scoop.

AREA ACTIVITIES (CONT.)

DAY TRIPS

The scenic area region straddling Blewett Pass begins approximately 15 miles northeast of Cle Elum along Highway 97 (970). Hike trails like First Creek, Iron Creek, or Pipe Creek, or take the Forest Service’s interpretative trail at the pass. Along with tremendous views, rare Ellensburg blue agates are found near the Red Top Mountain lookout. Explore the historic “living ghost town” of Liberty or take the scenic Old Blewett Highway for stunning views of the Mount Stuart range.

Grand Coulee and Rocky Reach Dams

The awe-inspiring Grand Coulee Dam is one of the world’s engineering marvels. There are daily tours and an interpretive center, with laser shows in summer. If time is an issue, the smaller Rocky Reach Dam near Wenatchee is at least an hour closer. The visitor center is open from April through November.

Leavenworth

The picturesque Bavarian village of Leavenworth lies just an hour from Suncadia, on the other side of Blewett Pass. With locals in lederhosen, the sounds of polka, and a backdrop of dramatic alpslike mountains, Leavenworth has the feel of Switzerland. Festivals take place year-round with live outdoor entertainment on summer weekends.

Wine Country

Central Washington is rapidly becoming one of North America’s premier wine regions. A wine country tour begins in Yakima and extends to Walla Walla. Dozens of premium wineries such as Hogue Cellars, Columbia Crest and Barnard Griffin are open for public tours and sales, with wine tasting and special events throughout the summer and fall.

Yakima Canyon Drive

The Yakima River canyon along Highway 821 south of Ellensburg (Canyon Road) was one of the nation’s first National Scenic Highways. It never disappoints! Surrounded by steep desert mountains, the river corridor itself is lush with vegetation and wildlife. Several hiking trails are available, especially Umtanum Creek. Expect high mid-summer temperatures.

Other Great Day Trips

• Visit Liberty, a historic town site once a thriving gold rush community, now a “living ghost town” with only a few inhabitants. Small gold mines are still active in the area. Liberty is about 20 miles east on Highway 97.

• Tour the historic Thorp Grist Mill, a meticulously restored water-powered flour mill built in 1881. The mill is located east of Cle Elum on I-90, where the mountains and forest make a scenic transition to rolling sagebrush hills.

• Also, near Thorp, the famous Roosevelt Elk Herd can be glimpsed in winter at Joe Watt Canyon (I-90, exit 101).

• The Badger Pocket Bison Range outside of Ellensburg operates year-round and offers tours with prior reservations.

About 11,000 years ago, the last ice age left its imprint on Kittitas County and the land that is Suncadia, creating a land of phenomenal contrasts. Massive glaciers carved the dramatic peaks and valleys that are seen today, leaving miles of gravel and silt forming the broad Kittitas valley to the east. High alpine forest and jagged peaks collapse 7,400 feet into the sagebrush desert and searing heat of the Great American Basin. Between these extremes lie a variety of distinct climates and ecosystems, as well as the charming and historic communities of Roslyn, Cle Elum, and Ronald.

Beginning with the Kennewick Man, archeological remains of a prehistoric man from nearly 10,000 years ago, the upper Kittitas County region has been the setting for one of America’s longest stories of intertwining lives: the Yakama – first peoples; the prospectors who came to pan for gold; the miners who came to dig the coal for the Great Northern Railroad; pioneers from every corner of the globe; and devoted cattle ranchers, farmers, and centuries of settlers looking for a better life.

Roslyn (population 896) is Suncadia’s nearest neighbor. It once drew immigrants from around the world to work its vast seams of coal. Today, the mines are closed. Roslyn’s small unassuming homes are former miners’ cottages, while the larger homes were often boarding houses or brothels. Roslyn’s downtown buildings remain remarkably as they were in the early 20th century, which has made it a favorite of Hollywood. It was used in the 1979 Dick Van Dyke movie, The Runner Stumbles and served as Cicely, Alaska in the 1990’s hit TV series, Northern Exposure.

Today, Roslyn is home to an eclectic mix of people and places that give the town its distinctive charm. A theater with hospitality like no other, the Roslyn Theatre building was once a mortuary, but now features first-run movies, high-back velvet seats, and even “well behaved” dogs are welcome to attend the show. The Roslyn

Museum provides a look into the memorabilia and history of coal mining from 1885-1969 and its effect upon the local community. The Brick is a local watering hole with its share of live music, local brew, and longtime residents.

The town of Cle Elum (population 1,883) lies two miles east of Suncadia. In the Native American Yakama language, Cle Elum means “swift water.” Like Roslyn, it has a rich history of mining and logging, but the feel of the two communities is distinctly different. Before the transcontinental railroad was extended to Seattle in the mid-1880s, Cle Elum was the terminus for east-west trains. From here, passengers had to endure a torturous buckboard ride over the Cascades. Cle Elum was one of the final communities in the U.S. to receive dial phone service in 1966. The last operating switchboard is displayed at the Telephone Museum, along with interesting local and railroad artifacts.

Ellensburg, only 28 miles from Suncadia, is the region’s largest community (population 18,774) and a popular visitor destination. Expected to be Washington’s state capitol until Yakima cast its vote for Olympia, Ellensburg’s Victorian downtown is filled today with quaint shops and restaurants. Central Washington University gives the town a vibrant collegiate vibe and adds to the selection of cultural events. Live entertainment can be found most nights of the week, and the community hosts ongoing festivals including the First Friday Art Walk, Jazz in the Valley, and the famous Ellensburg Fair and Rodeo.

The 1,000 Steps project at Suncadia is 21 flights of stairs connecting The Lodge to the Cle Elum River. Covering an elevation change equivalent to the height of a 19-story building, the 379 stair steps provide resort guests and homeowners with convenient access to river activities and a scenic walkway.

The 1,000 Steps project enhances access to the Cle Elum River and complements the abundance of outdoor activities offered year-round at Suncadia. With scenic overlooks, picturesque seating areas and a beautiful destination, 1,000 Steps offers a rewarding and active experience for resort guests and homeowners, whether they relax on the landings or venture down to the river.”

The project features 379 stairs made from colored concrete and covering 197 vertical feet of elevation change. The 1,000 steps also feature a historical storyline woven into the concrete steps and landings. Dark Skies compliant LED low lighting fixtures illuminate the walkway without detracting from the night sky and four expanded landing areas provide seating and views overlooking the river valley. At the base of the stairs, a trail connects to Riverfront Park, providing resort guests and homeowners with more convenient access to river activities. For your safety, please observe the posted hours of use and do not use the steps if the gates are closed.
