Location: North Cascades National Parks, Stehekin Complex and the town of Stehekin is a remote community located at the head of Lake Chelan in Chelan County, WA.

The Stehekin Valley road is an isolated stretch of roadway that does not connect to any other roads. Cars/vehicles must be transported to Stehekin via a barge from the city of Chelan, therefore the road serves only local residents (population of 75), NPS employees, and tourists.
