The only vehicle access to Hozomeen is via the Silver-Skagit Road, a 39-mile (62.4 km) gravel road leaving Highway 1 just three kilometers west of Hope, British Columbia (exit 168). The Silver Skagit road is graded at times, but washboards and potholes are common. Hozomeen has two graded cement boat ramps, which are generally accessible from mid-June through September.
The best weather for visiting the North Cascades generally occurs between mid-June and late September. Summer daytime temperatures average in the 70s F. Snow is off most trails by mid-July. Autumn and spring are popular for color and wildlife. Storms are common: always be prepared for a few days of rain and wind. The east side of the Cascade Mountains (Lake Chelan National Recreation Area) is drier and warmer in the summer than the west side. Summer temperatures at Stehekin reach the 90s F.
Do not feed or tease wildlife - keep your food and other appealing items in your vehicle at all times except when eating/using them. Pets must be on a leash or confined at all times. Tents must not be placed on or impact vegetation. Checkout time is 11:00 am on day of departure. Quiet hours are from 10 pm to 6 am. Camping is limited to no more than 14 days from July 1 to September 1 and no more than 30 days in a calendar year. Campfires in designated campfire rings only. No breaking off of trees or branches for wood.
