Possessing over three decades of business and leadership experience, Ronald Newman serves as a managing member of the Milestone Companies, a Washington-based real estate development and management group. Outside of his work at Milestone, Ronald “Ron” Newman enjoys traveling to Lake Chelan every month.
Offering a unique mix of agriculture, shopping, and recreation, Lake Chelan is a popular vacation spot throughout the year. The area is typically busiest between June and August due to the large number of families. While visiting during this time is certainly crowded, the lake is full of kid-friendly activities and the surrounding greenery and fall are at their fullest. By September, the crowds start thinning out. Autumn is a great time for romantic vacations to Lake Chelan and most visitors during the months of September, October, and November take advantage of the slower pace to truly enjoy the area’s nature.
From December through February, Lake Chelan experiences its winter; however, this is the least crowded time to visit. Although these months are the coldest of the year, visitors can explore the area at their own pace, thanks to the nearly nonexistent crowds. There are plenty of winter activities to keep visitors busy, and the hiking and scenery is rarely affected by the winter weather. Spring is another great time to visit because of the blooming of local flora. The weather is a perfect blend between warm and cold so visitors can enjoy the colorful scenes while hiking or biking along the trails without getting too hot.
