1.
3 Valley Gap Heritage Ghost Town
Open daily April through October, this ghost town will give you a peek in to the colorful pioneer days of the 1800s. Thousands of people came searching for gold in 1862, but the gold rush was short lived. Many booming towns turned to ghost towns in the blink of an eye. See over 25 historic buildings, a wagon and buggy shop, antique auto museum and more. The Heritage Ghost Town is located right next to the 3 Valley Lake Chateau. Visit 3valley.com for more information, hours and admission rates.

Yoho National Park
The origins of Yoho sum up this park perfectly. Named for a Cree expression of “awe and wonder,” this park may just take your breath away. Make memories with your family as you explore your way through this park’s soaring peaks, expansive glaciers and impressive waterfalls; all of which have attracted visitors for over a century. Some specific points of interest in the park are Wapta Falls, Hoodoos, Natural Bridge, and the Lower Spiral Tunnel Viewpoint. Watch out for mountain goats; they are the most abundant large mammal in the park. Plus you’ll want to stop at the Burgess Shale, one of the world's most important fossil finds, located right in Yoho National Park. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1981, the Burgess Shale Formation contains the fossilized remains of more than 120 marine animal species dating back 515 million years. To find out about more park highlights, hiking trails, and camping accommodations, visit PC.gc.ca/eng/

Kimberley Underground Mining Railway
3.
Mining is a huge part of the culture and history of the Kootenay Rockies area. Take the Kimberley Underground Mining Tour and ride the rails through
the beautiful Mark Creek valley as you listen to the history of Kimberley and the Sullivan Mine. This enlightening tour will offer your family the chance to learn about life as a miner, see real old-time mining equipment and more. Visit KimberleyUnderground MiningRailway.ca for tour schedules, rates and other information.
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort – Grizzly Bear Refuge
4.
Just outside Golden you can visit a grizzly bear named Boo. At the Grizzly Bear Refuge at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort, Boo lives in a fenced area high on the mountainside. This once orphaned bear has been living here since 2003. The refuge provides an unprecedented opportunity for biologists to study grizzly bear behavior, and a chance for you to see this magnificent animal in an enclosed but otherwise natural setting. To access the refuge, you get to ride on the chairlift and then take a short walk to the interpretive center. The best times to visit are the morning or late afternoon when Boo is most active. You can also catch other wildlife viewing opportunities near Golden, such as renowned bird watching along the Columbia Wetlands, or a scheduled walk with a pack of gray wolves at the Northern Lights Wildlife Centre. Learn more at KickingHorseResort.com.
5.
Fort Steele Heritage Town
Step back in time with a stop at Fort Steele Heritage Town. This living museum literally brings history to life. In the summer enjoy street theater, museum displays, livestock demonstrations, live theater shows, steam train rides, horse-drawn wagon rides, and heritage trades demonstrations. With the backdrop of the spectacular Rocky and Purcell Mountains, there are more than 60 historic buildings to see that have been restored and reconstructed; you might just feel like you have traveled back to the 1890s. The town also features

The resort includes onsite lodging with newly renovated rooms and a restaurant.

EMERALD CITY Beckons At least 5 great reasons to check out Seattle The
By JOE BUTLER, Marketing Writer
D
o you like Bruce Lee? How about Star Wars? The Seahawks? Boogers and burps? Hopefully at least one of these interests will appeal to you and your family – or maybe all of them. At least that’s the goal of Seattle tourism pros who are trying to encourage visitors from across the Northwest to head to the Emerald City this spring and summer. Traveling to the state’s largest city can be a good time, things ti ime m , and there are always y new thing gs to see and do – along with attractions you may have missed on a past visit. For instance, everyone tries to hit the Space Needle or Pike Place Market, but it sometimes feels like they’re all doing so at the exact same time. So it’s worth a try to hit other sights or at least head over during the week when the crowds are a little thinner. Enjoy these suggestions:

There are interactive exhibits about everything from the stuff that lives in your nose to the amazing things that take place in your digestive tract. pacificsciencecenter.org
1.
Bruce Lee still has legendary status among not just martial arts enthusiasts but general Seattleites, and he and his son’s graves can be found at Lake View Cemetery. Though Lee was born in San Francisco, he and his family called Seattle home. Time magazine has declared it one of the World’s Top 10 Celebrity Grave Sites if you like to frequent these places. There are other Bruce items around the city, including a new exhibit at the Wing Luke Museum, only one of two official Lee museums world-wide. www.wingluke.org/brucelee
The Pacific Science Center
Along with permanent attractions, the science center keeps on bringing in new touring exhibits. If you get moving, you’ll catch the end of “Pompei,” which wraps up May 25. Spoiler alert: everyone dies. But there are still some amazing artifacts from the ancient European city that was buried under ash 2,000 years ago. If this is a little too grim for adults

How H ow aabout bout those ‘Hawks?
There’s still plenty of room aboard the bandwagon for late-coming fans of the local NFL franchise. The NFL pre-season doesn’t kick off until early August, but there’s still plenty of ways to show your 12th Man spirit (or find out what that term means if you’ve tried to avoid football talk for the last few years). People are still sore about that one Super Bowl play, but there are strong hopes for the upcoming season. If you can’t wait for opening kickoff for your pro ball fix, you can take in a Mariners or Sounders game at least since the stadiums are all in the same area. Or find a jersey. Or check out the EMP Museum’s “We are 12th” exhibit showing the Seahawks rise to the top over the last 40 years. www.empmuseum.org/ at-the-museum/current-exhibits/ we-are-12%E2%84%A2.aspx

Favorite Films
If you like music and movies, then you’ll like other treats at the EMP Museum, which combines the Experience Music Project and the Seattle Sci-Fi Museum, two relatively new arrivals to the Seattle Center. The former one celebrates music in general, with extra emphasis on the contributions of Northwest artists, from the Kingsmen to Jimi Hendrix to Nirvana. The latter one offers a fun look at books, movies, TV and science-fiction in general, including props, displays, and more. This summer, visitors to the EMP Museum can take a look at some of the actual attire used in the “Star Wars” movies, including Jedi
robes, Stormtrooper armor, princess gowns and droid suits. “Star Wars and the Power of Costume” ends Oct. 4. www.empmuseum.org
5.
Great Wheel
If you haven’t made it to Seattle’s waterfront since 2012, there’s now a wheel. And not just a typical Ferris wheel, but the Great Wheel, an attraction that stands 175 feet tall and provides a great view of the city from 42 enclosed gondola cars. It opened for the season May 1, and will remain open all year long. seattlegreatwheel.com For more details on Seattle travel opportunities head to www.visitseattle.org.

Columbia Gorge Worth the Journey By COURTNEY DUNHAM, Marketing Correspondent
W
hen most people think of the Columbia Gorge in eastern Oregon, they may only recall a generally scenic gateway between here and Portland that glistens with distant waterfalls and windsurfers galore in summer.
Little do they know that Hood River plays host to some of the region's best wineries, vistas, hikes, and even a nostalgic dinner train. Here are some enjoyable attractions next time you’re traveling this route – or make it the destination!
•
Historic Columbia River Highway
As its name implies, the road is incredibly rich in cultural history. This stretch of the Columbia once served as fishing and meeting grounds for the many indigenous peoples of the Columbia Basin. The Dalles was a highly significant trading and rendezvous site throughout modern history and prehistory. Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery traveled through the Gorge on the Columbia River on its way to the Pacific Ocean. Oregon Trail. Pioneers also traveled down the Columbia River Gorge in the mid-1800s. The region’s rich history is preserved in several museums along the route. It’s best to start at the beginning of the old highway and take exit 17 off of Interstate 84. Follow the
signs through the quaint town of Troutdale and over the Sandy River to the Historic Columbia River Highway. In 1805, Lewis and Clark camped along the banks of the Sandy, which ran gritty with ash from the 1802 eruption of Mount Hood. The road follows the Wild and Scenic Sandy River for several miles, then climbs past orchards and blueberry fields through the communities of Springdale and Corbett, offering glimpses of snow-capped Mount Hood.
•
Gorgeous Vistas from Crown Point
Get your first glance of the Columbia River and the Gorge from above. This is the vista that inspired the Highway’s founding father, Sam Hill. The stone guard walls and graceful arches are typical of the highway’s exquisite craftsmanship. The Vista House at Crown Point is an Oregon treasure, one of the most photographed and recognizable in the Columbia River Gorge. Built as a memorial to Oregon pioneers, it offers an inspiring view of the Gorge and the mountains of the Cascade Range.

Tour Breathtaking Waterfalls and Bring Your Camera
The Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area is famous for its waterfalls — 77 on the Oregon side alone. Be prepared to do a lot of stopping and starting again, though, since these stunning waterfalls are all within approximately a 5-mile distance of each other. To help motorists navigate the 600-foot vertical drop from Crown Point, engineer Samuel C. Lancaster engineered a series of what’s known as “figure-eight loops� that gracefully wind down toward the river. You’re soon surrounded by mossy tree limbs and the greenery enhanced by a series of remarkable waterfalls in the next five miles: Latourell, Shepperd’s Dell, Bridal Veil, and Wahkeena. Soon you’ll reach the granddaddy of Columbia Gorge waterfalls—620-foot Multnomah Falls. Only three waterfalls in the nation are taller, and many say none are more beautiful. You can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Multnomah Falls Lodge. The historic lodge was built in 1925 and was

threatened by a wildfire in the 1990s. You can still see the nearby husks of burned trees where the blaze came to within feet of this historic building. A trail from Multnomah Falls Lodge takes you to the lower cascade, then zigzags to the top.
Trail connects with several other trails en-route and allows many loop possibilities.
A little farther down the road, Horsetail Falls plummets close enough to the road to mist your windows. Before the Byway joins Interstate 84, at the community of Dodson, you’ll pass Oneonta Gorge, a botanical paradise with more than 50 species of plants that flourish in the damp, cool environs.
Getting married? After all that touring and hiking, you can stay at the charming Bridal Veil Lodge, a bed and breakfast for waterfall watchers. Bridal Veil Falls can be seen from Interstate 84, but if you want to see it while on your Historic Highway Waterfall Tour, park the car and walk the 2.2 miles round trip. Dozens of brides choose to have their wedding invitations postmarked at the post office here for obvious reasons.

Find Relaxation and Wineries in Hood River
Although what most would argue that the waterfall exits are the most beautiful parts of the Columbia
River Gorge, adventures can also be found too in Hood River. The small adventurous town, just an hour east of Portland, is a prime spot for windsurfers worldwide to visit during summer. In the winter, though, visitors can find less crowds and several local wineries to chill at. Two of the most popular wineries are Naked and Marchesi.

Favorite places to get
Wet & Wild
By COURTNEY DUNHAM, Marketing Correspondent
B
efore we know it summer will be here and as temperatures rise, so will our desire to cool off. Aside from the fact that we live near some beautiful lakes, here are some other spots where a refreshing cool-down can be found. Here's how to get started:
• Let's Hit the Beach! No lake place or boat are needed to enjoy what’s possibly one of the prettiest and most popular lakes in Idaho – City Beach in Coeur d’Alene. The view and easy access into the refreshing waters are still free to the public. Plus, there are plenty of other fun activities to do nearby. At 16.5 acres, the City Park and Independence Point are located west of downtown on the waterfront. The area offers a multitude of things for families and groups including Sunday concerts in summer, family and group picnic facilities, a roped-off swim beach with a lifeguard, plus volleyball, basketball courts, tour boats, seaplane rides and other aquatic equipment.
• Wet and Wild at Raptor Reef A little closer to Coeur d’Alene is Raptor Reef, an enclosed water park at Triple Play Family Fun Center. It’s a great choice no matter the weather, and you receive access to a wave pool and several slides, including Constrictor, which was recently featured on the Travel Channel. Visitors can also access other indoor and outdoor amenities including two mini-golf courses, bowling, a climbing wall and more. Triple Play also recently opened a ropes course and expanded its laser tag area, so there’s even more fun for all ages. www.3play.com
• If You Want to Stick Around Spokane...
Watch Salmon and Steelhead at Bonneville Dam
A little more than 10 years after the Historic Columbia River Highway was finished, the face of the Gorge began to change dramatically. Bonneville Dam, begun in 1933, raised the water level significantly. The interpretive center that may be accessed from exit 40 on Interstate 84 highlights the history of the dam, and the fish ladder. Depending on the time of year you visit, you can watch salmon, steelhead sturgeon and other species from the dam’s fish viewing station. Best times for viewing are spring and fall. While the Northwest gained a powerful supply of electricity and flood control with Bonneville and later dams, it lost significant historic and prehistoric resources—most notably traditional Native American fishing sites critical to their culture. The loss of these cultural sites—and the depleted salmon stocks—has had a lasting impact on the Native American communities.
open from mid-May until September, then switches to Scarywood through October.) The water park includes two wave pools, a long lazy river, a wide variety of tube and raft slides, and a nice family-friendyly atmosphere. There’s also plenty of space to just relax and sunbathe around the grounds. Visit www.silverwoodthemepark. com for more details!

For more information and directions to these nearby lakes, check out www.spokolife.com/spokane_area_lakes.htm
• For Some More Adventurous Fun... Head north from Coeur d'Alene and get your wave on at Boulder Beach Water Park at Silverwood Theme Park. Admission to the Northwest’s largest theme park includes access to Boulder Beach, which is open from early June until Labor Day. (Silverwood itself is
How about taking advantage of the many outdoor pools and aquatic centers? Centrally located in each main part of the city, these public cooling-down spots offer much more than a basic pool. Most offer water slides, a playground area with zero-depth entry, concessions stands and plenty of deck space. Throughout the summer, various events are hosted at the pools, such as ice cream days and movie nights. For a list of neighborhood aquatic centers and admission, check out my.spokanecity.org/recreation/aquatics

POLSON, MONTANA Worth a Visit This Summer Provided by CAROL BECK BECK-EDGAR EDGAR Polson Chamber of Commerce
T
here’s still snow in the mountains, but in Polson, thoughts have turned to warmer weather as plans get underway for a series of spring and summer events.
Polson is located at the south end of Montana’s Flathead Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake west of the Mississippi. The Polson Chamber of Commerce will begin the summer season with the annual Chamber Blast on Sunday, June 20. Held at Big Sky Sporting Clays, the event is open to beginners and sure shots alike. This event opens the summer season and serves as a fundraiser for the Chamber. The famous Flathead cherries take center stage in May with the annual Cherry Blossom Festival in Yellow Bay followed by the Polson Main Street Cherry Festival July 18 and 19. Contests include cherry pie eating, cherry pit spitting, cherry stem tying and cherry cooking. Vendors will feature handmade and Montana-made items, fine art, crafts, food and treats. Polson’s Fourth of July celebration will feature a parade and the day-long “Barging In” on the lake shore at Sacajawea Park. The musical event will culminate with fireworks that evening. To the south,

finalists and semifinalists such as Kevin Selfe and the Rafael Tranquilino Band.
Since 1976, the Port Polson Players have brought theatre to the southern shore of Flathead Lake. They will open their Summer Theatre season with “Gaslight” on July 1. Other summer productions include “Breakin’ Up is Hard to Do” featuring the music of Neil Sedaka and the British comedy “The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Dramatic Society Murder Mystery.” Performances are Wednesdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m.
August 20-22 will bring an action-packed weekend of rodeo with the Indian National Finals Tour Rodeo. Voted “Tour Rodeo of the Year” for the past three years, the event includes the rodeo events, professional bullfighting competition and music after the rodeo.
Everyone loves barbecue and the Seventh Annual Smokin’ on the Water BBQ Cook-Off brings hungry visitors and talented chefs to the KwaTaqNuk Resort on Flathead Lake on the first day of August. In addition to the barbecue contest, the day will include a brew tour, live music, games and giveaways. The next weekend, Summerfest will get underway with a Car Show on Saturday, the Sandpiper Art Festival, a poker run, parade, cruise and concert at Riverside Park. The Fifth Annual Flathead Lake Blues Festival brings music to Salish Point on Polson Bay August 14-16. The gates will open two hours before the music begins in order to allow visitors to enjoy the Flathead Lake Arts Festival in neighboring Sacajawea Park. The musical line-up includes twotime International Blues Challenge (IBC) winner Lionel Young and his band along with several IBC
Other summer events include the 23rd Annual 3 on 3 Flathead Lake Hoop Shoot, Live History Days at the Miracle of America Museum, Rotary Chili Feed, a fly-in sponsored by the Experimental Aircraft Association, a Poker Paddle and the Mission Mountain NRA rodeo. Information about these and other events is available at www.polsonchamber.com.

Hiking and History in
Glacier National Park & Flathead Valley, Montana By JEAN ARTHUR Marketing Correspondent
F
rom frothy, ice-cold pool at the base of Virginia Falls, hikers picnic and pose for photos near one of the West’s loveliest waterfalls, a gentle and scenic 2.8-mile (5.6-mile round trip) hike into the heart of northwest Montana.

Glacier. From the Peigan Pass Trails, 60-acre Piegan Glacier, 440-acre Blackfoot Glacier and 250-acre Jackson Glacier are visible.
After hiking the 1.2-million-acre park’s most traveled trails such as the Hidden Lake Overlook Trail on
An exhibit about the park’s receding glaciers lines the walls inside the Many Glacier Hotel near the Ptarmigan Dining Room.
The trail departs the Going-to-the-Sun Road in Glacier National Park from several trailhead points, including the boat dock on St. Mary Lake where an interpretive tour boat ride transports visitors about 5 miles up the lake.
The historic photographs and accompanying data reveals a speedy retreat of the park’s ice mass. About two dozen glaciers remain in the park, yet researchers expect that all will have disappeared by 2030. Several museums near Glacier provide a few hours of unique history and culture, and some are near trailheads.
Glacier Park Boat Company’s historic tour boat, Little Chief, is a 45-foot carvel planked launch that carries 49 passengers from Rising Sun to Barring Falls.
Museum of the Plains Indian, Browning
The boat is part of a fleet of historic wooden tour boats on the park’s largest lakes. It was crafted in 1925 by Captain J.W. Swanson for the Great Northern Railway as part of efforts to bring tourists from the Eastern U.S. to Glacier and the log lodges mostly built by the railway for its “See America” campaign.
Exhibits reveal the rich cultural and artistic diversity of the tribal peoples of the Northern Plains including the Blackfeet Indian Nation as well as traveling exhibits from other tribes’ artists. Three permanent dioramas provide glimpses into when teepees stretched skyward and bison herds blackened the grasslands.
A free ranger-led hike to the falls departs with the boat’s daily 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. trips, all summer. Or, if you’re seeking a quick 15-minute walk, a trail to Barring Falls heads east from the boat dock a quarter mile to the cascade. The St. Mary Falls and Virginia Falls Trail initially cruises northward above the shore of St. Mary Lake, where views include the valley and peaks such as the 9,030-foot Citidal Mountain. A close look at Citidal reveals the white slash of Virginia Falls among the trees on Dusty Star Mountain, the northeast sub-summit Citadel. Almosta-Dog Mountain at 8,922-feet and Little Chief Mountain at 9,541 feet hem the lake just south of Citadel. Soon, the trail curves west and past the St. Mary Falls at 2.5 miles. Some people end their hike here, returning to trailhead or boat dock, but another real beauty is another 30 minutes ahead at Virginia Falls. Glacier National Park’s 730 miles of hiking trails provide exceptional backcountry access for hikers of all abilities and experience levels, from the kid- and

Logan Pass, day hikers will like the 4.5-mile hike to Piegan Pass. It’s on the eastside of Logan Pass 2.2 miles east along Going-to-the-Sun Road at Siyeh Bend. The park’s free shuttle system allows hikers to leave cars at transport centers. The trail begins on Siyeh Bend Trail along Siyeh Creek. A few steps into the trail, and travelers are in the midst of the remains from a 2011 avalanche. The trail climbs through a pine forest for 1.2 miles where flower-lovers may spot the shy mountain lady’s slipper flower. The trail “Ts” into the Piegan Pass Trail: A left/northeast turn soon leads out of the woods and into flower-flocked fields of Indian paintbrush, lupine and bear grass. Because of the presence of bears, rangers suggest hiking in groups of three or more and carrying—and knowing how to use—bear spray, large canisters of pepper spray as deterrent if charged by a grizzly or black bear. Some of the last glaciers in the national park can be viewed from the Going-to-the-Sun Road including Jackson Glacier. From the Glacier Park Boat Company’s tour, visitors can see the 68-acre Sexton

Ski memorabilia, history books and great stories are available here. Also on display is author Dorothy M. Johnson’s typewriter, where some of her books such as A Man Called Horse, The Hanging Tree and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance were composed on. The museum’s free walking tour brochure includes sites such as the 1903 Pastime Pool Hall, popular with railroad workers not only for the brews but also for upstairs boxing matches. Nearby is the old 1907 Central Hotel, best know for its “novel double-decker toilet arrangement.� All along the walking tour are eateries, shops and even a building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Open
Jewell Basin lives up to its name thanks to the many emerald and turquoise lakes dappling the area’s hiking trails including the 7-mile loop up to Mt. Aeneas and around Picnic Lakes and back. Since this non-motorized area is for hikers only, the native cutthroat fish still holds large population numbers for catch-and-release fly fishers.

The Conrad Mansion, Kalispell When Charles E. Conrad arrived in the Flathead Valley in 1891, he envisioned a community with streets wide enough to turn around a horse-drawn wagon, and friendly enough for city parks and elegant schools. Today, the city honors its founder by preserving The Conrad Mansion as a museum and gardens, open to the public and a chance to see the family’s doll collection and historic Christmas dÊcor. The pre-1900 Victorian home is well preserved and fitted with more than 90 percent of the original furnishings.

Come Play in
Montana’s Glacier Country
By TIA TROY, Glacier Country Regional Tourism
T
here are few places that boast as many summer fun options as Western Montana’s Glacier Country. From Glacier National Park in the north to the stunning peaks of the Bitterroot Mountains in the south, Western Montana is filled to the brim with charming small towns, beautiful views and opportunities for adventure, coupled with plenty of moments that can only be experienced in Montana. Anchoring our region is the Crown of the Continent— Glacier National Park. Home to more than 1 million acres, 700+ miles of hiking trails, historic lodges, guided tours and the iconic Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park is an outdoor lover’s paradise. Our advice: beat the crowds by planning a visit in May and June. And if you’re looking for a different way to experience the park, pack your bike (or rent one in Whitefish) and bike the Going-to-the-Sun Road. Prior to the road opening to vehicular traffic in mid-June, the Going-to-the-Sun Road is open for bikers and hikers and offers an incredible look at the park’s terrain.
For adrenaline-pumping fun a short drive from Glacier National Park, visit Whitefish. One of the most charming mountain resort towns in Montana, Whitefish is home to a walkable downtown, Whitefish Lake, The Whitefish Trail and Whitefish Mountain Resort, as well as locally owned shops and a variety of mouth-watering dining options. On-mountain amenities at Whitefish Mountain Resort include zip lines, Walk in the Treetops, an alpine slide, a scenic lift to the summit, nearly 30 miles of biking trails and an Aerial Adventure Park. An added bonus: the Base Lodge has some of the best huckleberry milkshakes in the state. Located a short drive south of both Whitefish and Glacier National Park and a stone’s throw from Kalispell is Flathead Lake—the largest freshwater lake in the West. Sitting at nearly 30 miles long and with 185 miles of shoreline, it’s no surprise that Flathead Lake is home to abundant water activities, including fishing, boating, sailing and kayaking. Insider tip: to take full advantage of the lake, plan to stay in Polson, Lakeside or Bigfork. And for fun on the
Fun spring/summer activities in Western Montana can include, from left, Aerial Adventure Park at Whitefish Mountain Resort; visiting Whitefish and Whitefish Lake; and exploring other waterways.
water, book an afternoon sail on Flathead Lake Lodge’s Questa or Nor ‘Easter. Both are historic 51-foot racing sloops that are ideal for hitting the open waters of the lake while you take in the mountain views. And with long daylight hours and more than 70 communities in Glacier Country (check out a full list of events in Western Montana at glaciermt.com/events.php), you’re sure to find kick-upyour-heels fun at one of these notable summer events: • • • • •
Bigfork Whitewater Festival, May 22–24 Whitefish Woody Weekend IV, June 26–28 Tour of Montana in Missoula, July 16–19 Arts in the Park in Kalispell, July 17–19 Huckleberry Festival in Trout Creek, Aug. 14–16 • Bitterroot Scottish Irish Festival in Hamilton, Aug. 15–16 For more information on summer happenings in Western Montana’s Glacier Country, visit glaciermt.com or follow us on Twitter at @GlacierMT.

DOLLARS and SENSE By DAVID UFFINGTON, King Features
A
re the kids talking about summer camp yet? It’s time to start investigating the possibilities and get them signed up.
Look into day or sleep-away camps at colleges near you. Look for math, computer and science camps run by older students. Drama majors especially love to introduce theater to kids. The fees for these day camps are typically fairly low. For older kids, combining sleep-away camp with their interests could lead to new career possibilities. Spending a week on a farm could lead an animal lover in the direction of veterinary medicine. A water or ocean-related camp could lead to a career in marine ecology. A week at video camp
could open opportunities in television, digital media, advertising and more. When it comes to special interests, no matter what they are, there’s a camp for it. If your child wants to get a head start with SAT tests, there are prep camps for that. Photography, rock music songwriting, entrepreneurship, wilderness adventure -- they all have camps. Check www.camppage.com and explore the information in the drop-down menus. Search through the offerings at www.campresource.com. It has comprehensive listings of sleepaway camps, day camps, co-ed, boys, girls and traditional camps. Use the drop-down menus to search for camp types, activities and locations. For kids who want a new experience, search for camps that emphasize Nashville music, rodeo riding, PGA golf or hockey. Look for
teen travel camps that provide tours and camps all over the globe. Language majors can take advantage of language immersion camps and tours, and more. There's even a roller-coaster camp! It involves visiting amusement parks across the country in one, two, three, four and six-week camps. For younger children that you want to keep nearby, check the resources around you for traditional camps at recreation departments, the YMCA and churches. They’re sure to provide plenty of summer activities: swimming, boating, archery, sports, arts and crafts, and singing around the campfire. When it comes to choosing a camp, the American Camp Association has must-read information at www.acacamps.org. Look for How to Choose a Camp: Safety Tips. Learn about the difference between accreditation versus licensing, questions to ask camp directors, camper-to-counselor ratios and how the camp handles behavioral and disciplinary problems.

Unexpected places for
Amazing Sunsets
BY THERESA CARPINE, Marketing writer
E
veryone knows that Spokane’s Cliff Drive and High Drive are prime locations for catching a breathtaking sunset, but a few secret locations in our area elicit just as much awe and wonder as the sun sinks in the west. Okay, so they’re not exactly “secret locations,” but we recommend checking out the following places if you’re looking for a new angle on a sultry summer evening in the Inland Northwest.
Gonzaga University campus Even lifelong Spokane residents seem to forget how close Gonzaga University is to the downtown core. The 128-year-old Jesuit institution is just a quick walk down the Centennial Trail, and the campus’s 131 acres are easy to explore on foot as well. A little west to the center of campus is St. Aloysius Church and its signature twin spires, which provides a stunning foreground as the Spokane sky lights up with pink and purple at sunset. Even farther west on camps, Jundt Art Museum also basks in the afterglow as light reflects on its single copper steeple and the nearby surface of a small pond, Lake Arthur.

Arbor Crest Cliff House Estate
Lake Pend Oreille
Visitors for Arbor Crest’s Summer Concert
Being Idaho’s largest lake means that the potential views for sunset on the water and on the shore may take a long time to fully explore…and that’s by no means a bad thing. Nestled between the woods and mountains of Farragut State Park, Coeur D’Alene National Forest and Kaniksu National Forest and bursting with wildlife, sunsets on Pend Oreille reflect the great and total majesty of nature in the Northwest.
Series will enjoy delicious wine, lively music and spectacular views overlooking the Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake and downtown Spokane. As the sun sets below Beacon Hill and lights up the Florentinestyle mansion, built by inventor Royal Newton Riblet in 1924, the sky warms over the lush, green vineyard. We’ll drink to that.

From June 12-Aug. 10, Lake Pend Oreille Cruises offers sunset cruises on Monday, Friday and Saturday nights from 6:30-8:30 p.m.; the sunset cruise schedule shifts to 6-8 p.m. from Aug. 14-Sept. 5. Passengers enjoy complimentary dessert during the boat ride while watching for bald eagles in the bright, orange sky.
Northern Quest Resort & Casino If you’ve ever had the pleasure of attending an Outdoor Summer Concert at Northern Quest, you know how magical the sunsets can be over the Airway Heights destination. The flat terrain of the West Plains allows sunset watchers to enjoy the colorful sky even longer, especially if you watch from the top floor of the resort. The view outside the hotel is just as beautiful as its glass windows mirror the spectrum of colors chase the sun to the horizon.

THREE CHEERS for Summer Camp By NICOLE SKINNER, Marketing Correspondent
T
wo, four, six, eight… why are summer camps really great?
For one, you don’t have to listen to your teen/ tween/kid/adult-in-training say, “I’m bored” during some or all of the summer. More importantly, summer camps can offer your child opportunities to learn new skills, make new friends and gain self-confidence. Your tiny human will be bursting at the seams with all the excitement camps have to offer. According to Andrew Sonneland, executive director of Camp Spalding, the average kid spends about four
minutes per day playing outside – but this definitely jumps higher during camp. “Camp gives kids a chance to disconnect from technology and have a blast experiencing naturebased activities they won’t find at home,” he said.
Sonneland also finds that the biggest benefit for campers is the opportunity to form real friendships. He and the Camp Spalding staff continually hear campers report that they are more free to be themselves, and experience true and lasting friendships. These are experiences many children won’t be able to get outside of camp, and can turn a boring summer into character-forming experiences. Campers also get a chance to develop physical, social and emotional skills, which can build a foundation for self-confident young adults and boost self-esteem. “Girls come to our camp hesitant at first but once they dive into hands-on activities, they gain more confidence and skills to take on leadership roles,” said Sarah Betts, Membership Volunteer and Program Coordinator with Girl Scouts of Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. “By the time they leave camp, their faces are beaming with a sense of accomplishment and happiness that only the outdoors can provide our youth.” It’s safe to say that many of tomorrow’s leaders are today’s summer campers.

In addition to the unique experiences, the lifelong memories are another great reason to enhance your
child’s summer.
Douglas Guest, director of camping for the Boy Scouts of America Inland Northwest Council, said camp is great about creating memories. “One of my favorite times at camp are the campfire programs, the songs the skits and run-ons and then, near the end the serious part of the camp program; then walking back to camp,” he said. “These are great memories a youth will remember throughout his life.” In a world filled with busyness and electronics that constantly call for attention of our youth, enjoying a camp experience creates a place for interaction that is what great childhood memories are made of.

THREE TIPS for Choosing the Right Camp Day camp or overnight camp? Your child’s age and level of comfort being away from home will be a big factor in choosing a day camp or an overnight camp. Be careful to not send campers off for overnight stays that aren’t ready for that level of independence; there are plenty of day camps you can choose from to still offer your child a camp experience this summer.
Traditional camp, themed camped or sports camp? In addition to the quintessential structured outdoor rec camp experience, you can find camps focused on almost anything. Science camp?
Culinary camp? Basketball camp? Many day camps offer themed weeks. Try to find a camp that matches your child’s interests; doing so will help keep your child engaged throughout the camp session.
Do you pick the camp or do you let your child? It’s ideal to have involvement from your child, but the decision on what’s the right fit is always going to fall to parents/guardians. You know your child best and what he or she is going to be capable of handling. Your budding adventurist may want a week-long outdoor camp, but may only really be ready for a few days or better yet, a day camp
option. The older your child gets, the more you can involve him or her in the decision making process. Visit the American Camp Association to research area camps that might be a great fit for your child this summer: http://find.acacamps.org/ From Andrew Sonneland, Executive Director of Camp Spalding... "Visit various camp websites. What a camp says about itself and how it presents itself will tell you a lot."
