Discover Alpine Lakes Wilderness RV rentals for memorable road trips
Alpine Lakes Wilderness, in Washington, was originally established as “Alpine Lakes Limited Area” in 1946, but because this classification didn’t protect it from mining operations and commercial endeavors, nature lovers lobbied for several years to increase the protections. In 1976, President Ford agreed and signed an act to reclassify it as a wilderness, “Alpine Lakes Wilderness.” He was heard saying about Alpine Lakes, “anywhere so beautiful should be preserved.” This pristine slice of wilderness is the home of several endangered and threatened animals, including the golden eagle, goshawk, spotted owl, and lynx.

The Great Outdoors
Encompassing over 400,000 acres of wilderness, Alpine Lakes Wilderness is one of the most rugged and challenging regions in Washington state to explore. The terrain is steep and wild, with very few access roads to ease travel into the heart of the mountains (the access roads, if any, are limited to park officials and rangers). There are around 600 miles of trails, many of which traverse through boulder-strewn mountainsides, around crystal alpine lakes, and up to summits of mountains. A portion of the 2,600-mile-long Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) also passes through Alpine Lakes Wilderness; it’s strongly recommended that PCT thru-hikers time their journey to avoid winter travel because the region frequently sees several feet of snow, rendering the trail all but impossible to navigate.
Camping in Alpine Lakes Wilderness
A common reason to rent an RV is to gain more immediate access to nature. In the morning, step out of the front door with a steaming cup of coffee and bask in the wilderness. Listen to birdsong in the trees. Watch as deer cautiously sip from a babbling stream.
Exploring the Area
Though the Washington state wilderness is a major draw for many travelers and adventurers, the charming mountain towns are not to be ignored. They feature restaurants dishing up delicious, mouthwatering meals, historical museums, and landmark markers that detail the area’s history. Hit the road in an Airstream rental. One of the more unique attractions is the Telephone Museum in Cle Elum, WA. The museum houses one of the last still-functional telephone switchboards that was used until 1966 (most towns had retired their switchboards in the 1950s). Also on site are several telephones and communication devices that were in use between the 1890s and 1970s.

What a phenomenal experience! Our hosts were always gracious and quick to answer our questions both before and during our trip. They even met us at our hotel in Seattle both to pick up and return the van. This saved us a lot of stress since we flew in from Maryland and did not know the area. The van exceeded expectations with more features than we needed. It had plenty of power as we traveled through Mt. Ranier National Park. The refrigerator was amazing! We traveled with two grandsons who bunked up top and liked it! When traveling from Olympic NP to Mt. Ranier, the trip was a bit long so the TV helped the trip go smoothly and easily for the boys. We saw an amazing amount of wildlife and the mountain meadow flowers were gorgous! Thank you Poonam and AK! You made our family trip an adventure we will never forget!

Andy was a fantastic host, and his 2022 Intech Sol Horizon Rover was exactly as described—clean, modern, and easy to use. It towed smoothly behind my FJ Cruiser, and setup was quick and simple. Some of the highlights for us were the panoramic front window, the long-lasting lithium batteries, the comfortable full queen bed, and the cleanest, most modern RV shower I’ve seen. There are many other thoughtful design touches that make this camper stand out. We boondocked for two nights and three days at Bowman Bay near Deception Pass in Washington State and still had plenty of battery, water, and propane—enough to easily go another three or four nights. The whole experience was seamless thanks to Andy’s responsive and thorough communication style.

We had such an amazing time. The RV was so spacious and fit the 6 of us beautifully! We would definitely rent again. The RV was beautiful and very accommodating with its storing space, and everything worked great!
