This off-road tour is open to all PCA members and their Porsche SUVs (Cayenne, Macan) and lifted (Safari) Porsche sports cars. Non-Porsche vehicles are permitted if the registrant is a PCA member.
What:
Join fellow Porsche enthusiasts and adventurers in the beautiful Methow Valley in North-Central Washington for a weekend of exploring the valley and mountains in your Porsche SUV or lifted Porsche (Safari) sports car. We will be driving primarily on gravel/dirt roads and forest service roads during our excursions in the local area. Roads will not be technical or abusive to your vehicle, but you will encounter dirt, dust, and rocks. Roads and trails are well within the capabilities of any stock Porsche SUV. You just need to be willing to get your rig a little dirty. As defined in the PCA Off-Road Minimum Driving Tour Standards, this is defined as a Category 2 off-road tour. We will be spending Friday and Saturday nights at Howard’s on the River in Pateros, WA (see lodging details below).
When:
September 15th-17th, 2023
Where (accommodations):
Howard’s on the River, 233 Lakeshore Dr, Pateros, WA, 98846
We have blocked 18 rooms at Howard‘s on the River in Pateros, WA. The hotel will be our base of operations for the weekend. Howard’s is a luxurious waterfront hotel located along the Columbia River in Pateros and is the southern gateway to Okanogan Country and the Okanogan Scenic Byway. King and Double/Queen rooms are available in limited numbers at a discounted group rate of $125.99/night. Be sure to book as soon as possible and mention you are with PCA-PNWR Porsche Club when making reservations.

There will be plenty of time for exploring the old-west themed town of Winthrop, swapping stories, picnicking, hiking and whatever else floats your boat.
