Ronald (“Ron”) Newman serves as the manager of Puyallup, Washington-based Milestone Investment Properties, LLC. When his professional life allows it, Ronald Newman enjoys taking frequent trips across the mountains to boat, ski, and play at Lake Chelan.
Located near Wenatchee, Lake Chelan is Washington’s largest natural lake. A local favorite for camping, hiking, and otherwise enjoying the great outdoors year round, it provides many opportunities for motorcyclists, equestrians, and hikers alike.
During the summer months, 250 miles of well-groomed trails are available to the public, more than 60 miles of which are open to motorcycles. The rest are open to non-motorized vehicles such as bicycles, horses, and other animals in addition to hikers.
One of the most popular trail systems in the area, the Echo Ridge trails offer 25 miles of beautiful scenery and trails suitable for every level of ability. More adventurous hikers can tackle the Devil’s Backbone. This 13-mile trek is not suitable for children or accessible by standard passenger car, but it offers excitement for the well-prepared Chelan traveler.
