- Big Valley Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Big Valley Unit includes trails maintained by Methow Trails, for winter skiing/snowshoeing, and summer horseback riding, biking, and hiking. The main part of the unit is mostly flat with little elevation change. The unit was purchased primarily to protect endangered fisheries riparian habitat along the Methow River, but is also in the migratory path of deer moving north and south between winter ranges in the lower valley and summer ranges in the upper Methow Valley and Pasayten Wilderness.
