Today, the North Cascade Lodge continues the tradi- tion. In the links forged between the generations who have visited Stehekin, hotels must rate among the strongest and most durable. 21 Mining High, almost inaccessible, and storm battered, the Horseshoe Basin and Doubtful Lake areas near Cas- cade Pass seem unlikely as loca- tions for mines. But when the tenacity of 19th-century miners is taken into account, it comes as no surprise that with the discovery of gold, silver, lead, and copper ther...e the population of the valley quickly jumped to more than 1, 000 individ- uals. (In contrast, the year-round population in recent decades has numbered about 70. ) When the miners came, the route they took was the one all of us follow. Chelan became the staging area; it was there that supplies arrived by railroad and river. Stehe- kin was the advance base from which forays were made into the mountains. The mines themselves, located at the very end of all possi- ble transportation, became the focal points of frenzied activity.
