Wenatchee Valley Heart of North Central Washington

ituated in the heart of North Central Washington, the Wenatchee Valley is the perfect place to explore during the fall or winter. Take a drive and soak in the beautiful autumn colors cresting the tops of the snowy Cascades, or step outside into the crisp, apple-scented air for some hiking or a stroll downtown. Go golfing, shopping or visit wineries, cideries and breweries from Lake Wenatchee, Leavenworth and Cashmere to Chelan and Manson. When autumn’s red and gold turns white, outdoor enthusiasts can head for Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort, just 10 miles

and 5,000 feet up from Wenatchee. The family friendly hill has a range of runs, snow-making ability to enhance what Mother Nature provides. For those who would rather stay warm, take a tour of Wenatchee’s historic downtown and the nearby Pybus Public Market. The market features restaurants and shops in a converted industrial foundry next to the Riverfront Park and the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail, which is walkable all year long. The historic Pipeline Pedestrian Bridge crosses the Columbia River and connects the trail to East Wenatchee, opening more exploration opportunities.

The Wenatchee World Visitors Guide | 2020-21 East Wenatchee is home to even more restaurants and Wenatchee Valley Mall. Pangborn Memorial Airport is just outside East Wenatchee. If you work up an appetite, no problem. Restaurants range from fine dining and burgers to Thai, Indian, Central American, micro-breweries and wood-stove pizza and an impressive array of Mexican restaurants. Museums, art galleries, theaters and a host of large and small live music venues will help you work off all the food. The Town Toyota Center hosts a community ice rink and the Wenatchee Wild Hockey Team, along with music and stage acts. Wenatchee First Friday ArtWalk is a great excuse to stroll through downtown and check out the work of artists in shops, galleries

and restaurants. The afternoon-early evening lineup changes each month, so there’s always something new to see — sculpture, painting, music and more. For information and the list of the current month’s lineup, see Wenatchee First Fridays on Facebook. And that’s just in Wenatchee and East Wenatchee. Travel 30 minutes in any direction and see a whole different landscape and culture. Leavenworth, 22 miles west, celebrates a Bavarian theme, from architecture to music and culture. Fall and winter mean Oktoberfest and Christmas Lighting fun. Cashmere, 12 miles west, boasts eclectic shopping districts and is home to the world-famous Aplets and Cotlets and the Cashmere Museum and

Pybus Public Market

f you are looking for a place to breathe in the local flavor of Wenatchee, there’s no better place to be than Pybus Market. Quaint, yet surprisingly hip and edgy, Pybus is the epitome of Apple Capital charm. Pybus is an indoor collection of shops and restaurants located on the Columbia River just a short stroll from Wenatchee’s historic downtown. Look for the huge, red “Public Market” sign at Orondo Avenue. Pybus, built in a rehabbed steel fabrication plant, features the biggest farmers market in the region (Saturdays through October). It draws heavy inspiration from Seattle’s Pike Place Market. There’s lots of room to stroll and look around or sit in an outdoor eating area with views of the river and a park. It’s home to many community events — think fun runs, car shows, sports rallies and fundraisers for local nonprofits and there is often live music and classes on everything from cooking to knitting to birdwatching and dancing. The market is also right on the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail, the 10.5-mile paved trail great for a post-meal walk through parks and past public art.

What they said

Pybus Market is itself if one great and glorious secret, though one which is becoming increasingly well-known here in Seattle. Opened in Wenatchee in 2013, the market modestly calls itself the “world’s best farmers’ market” and although Pike Place Market might have something to say about that, Pybus may well have a point. The building is breathtaking, the local farmers, restaurants and artisanal food producers it hosts are uniformly superb, and its location on the banks of the Columbia River is stunning.

— Seattle Refined/Komo

The Pybus Market has far more to offer than a location to buy your weekly supply of groceries. It is a historical destination where you can shop, dine, relax, bike on the river, meet friends, bring visitors, listen to music, and host your event or wedding — but most of all, it’s a place to connect with passionate artisans, inventive food retailers and Wenatchee’s creative community.

— Yakima Magazine

If you come to Wenatchee, you can’t miss the market with its fire engine red sign, “Public Market,” and flags flying at the entrance. Pybus lies two blocks east of historic downtown Wenatchee and converges at the Loop Trail, Riverfront Park, and Orondo Boat Basin. This exciting community market with delicious local foods, artisans, quality restaurants, specialties and much more is worth a visit.

The Numerica Performing Arts Center of Wenatchee plaza offers seating, a big fountain and more public art.

Loop Trail

World photos/Don Seabrook

Dinosaurs don't move too fast and this one shuffled along the back of a pack of runners at the Heart Breaker 5K fun run, a February event.

raped along the edges of the Columbia River, the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail (affectionately known as “the Loop” by locals), is a riverside escape full of manicured, shady parks and untouched native wildlands. The 10.5-mile trail is entirely paved — perfect for running, walking or riding your bike — and travels through parks, past sandy beaches and over three bridges. If you want parks and green grass, check out the Wenatchee side of the trail. If you want native lands, head to the east side near the Odabashian Bridge (Highway 2/97). Tall poplar trees shade the trail on the east side near the historic Pipeline Pedestrian Bridge, which was built in 1908 and was the first bridge to span the Columbia River. On the west side of the bridge you’ll find Hale Park’s off-leash dog park and skate park.

The RiverWalk Crossing Bridge connects downtown Wenatchee with the Columbia River parks and the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail.

More paved bike trails connect to the Loop: On the east side of the Pedestrian Bridge, head south 2.2 miles down the Columbia River to Hydro Park. On the east side of the Odabashian Bridge, head 5.5 miles up the Columbia to Lincoln Rock State Park. The Loop Trail is a popular trail for strollers, walkers, and runners of all stripes — serious fitness fanatics, parents, kids, families, senior citizens and rubberneckers. Besides walkers, you'll see bicyclists, joggers, skateboarders, dog walkers and more. After heavy snows, the trail also attracts cross-country skiers.

The sun sets on snow-topped Burch Mountain Tuesday as walkers enjoy the sights along the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail at Walla Walla Point Park.

Access: There are many access points to the Loop. A few include: 1) If you're riding or walking around the downtown core, head east on First Street. At First Street and Wenatchee Avenue, a covered walking-cycle bridge takes you over the railroad tracks to Riverfront Park. 2) Drive Fifth Street east (downhill and toward the river) until it ends in the Riverfront Park. Park here and walk toward the river to find a paved trail. 3) Take Ninth Street east toward the river until it merges into Walla Walla Street. Follow this north for about a half mile and turn right into Walla Walla Point Park. Park here and, again, walk toward the river to find the trail. 4) If you're in East Wenatchee, follow 19th Street NW west toward the river. At the bottom of 19th, turn left and park next to the Douglas County Services Building. Then, walk toward the river to find the trail.

Claire Oatey and husband Cameron Deamer-Phillips walk their dog Lola on the Horse Lake Reserve trail overlooking the Wenatchee Valley.

Wenatchee Foothills Trails W

hether you like hiking, jogging, biking or horseback riding, the Wenatchee Foothills have you covered. Located on the western edge of the valley, the trails are just a short drive away and offer great views of the city and Columbia River. Some close from December until early April to protect winter habitat for deer.

Horse Lake Reserve

Sage Hills

Start your hike high in the foothills on the Horse Lake Trailhead. If picnicking or sightseeing is more your thing, it's good for those, too. From Wenatchee Avenue, head uphill on Horse Lake Road. After the residential area, follow the winding dirt road for 3 miles to the trailhead.

Take Fifth Street west across Western Avenue, and follow the road as it becomes No. 1 Canyon Road. Parking will be on the right after about a third of a mile. Walk up Sage Hills Drive to get to the trail; don't park at the access point. The Lester Trailhead is at the end of the road.

Maiden Lane trail access

Day Drive trailhead

Heading north on Western Avenue, turn left onto Maiden Lane. Follow the road as it winds through the neighborhood. At the end of the pavement, walk up the dirt road to the trailhead. Parking is undeveloped on a residential street, so be respectful of the neighbors.

Take Fifth Street west across Western Avenue. Turn right onto Surry Avenue and then left onto Lester Road, which intersects with Day Road. Follow Day Road and then turn left onto Day Drive. The trailhead is on the left, and the parking area is small. If full, use the Sage Hills parking area.

Lower Castle Rock

Keith and Carla Truscott enjoy a hike along the Foothills Trail system.

From Western Avenue, turn toward the hills on Castlerock Avenue. At the end of the road is a small parking area. There's also a picnic shelter and restrooms.

Saddle Rock

Jacobson Preserve Follow Western Avenue until it becomes No. 2 Canyon Road, and take the first left onto Skyline Drive. The road takes a sharp left turn after about 500 feet, and Jacobson Preserve sits above that curve. Park in the designated spots along the fence on the north side of the WRAC parking lot.

Saddle Rock is closed from the trailhead to the top until the end of November as crews remove mining waste rock piles. Hikers will still be able to access it on the Jacobson Preserve side, and the Dry Gulch trail will also be open. Head north on Miller Street and turn right onto Circle Street. At the end of the road are a large parking lot, picnic areas and restrooms.

East Wenatchee O

pposite the Columbia River from Wenatchee, East Wenatchee is the area's shopping hub with an indoor mall. It also offers restaurants, golf, outdoor recreation and scenic views. East Wenatchee is defined by the Columbia River, its gently rolling hills interspersed with wide, flat spaces (perfect for neighborhoods and orchards) and availability of plentiful water and cheap power (perfect for huge data centers). The area's largest gateway to the outside world, Pangborn Memorial Airport, is also located just east of the city limits. Visitors can take advantage of daily flights to Seattle and connect with the world beyond.

The Wenatchee World Visitors Guide | 2020-21 Track down aviation history. The first nonstop flight across the Pacific Ocean took place in 1931 and ended in a crash landing near East Wenatchee. A replica of the Bellanca Skyrocket — the Miss Veedol — still flies over the Wenatchee Valley during the community celebrations. A non-flying replica is on display in Misawa, Japan. Misawa and the Wenatchee Valley are sister cities. Hit the links. Golfers have a choice between Wenatchee Golf & Country Club and Highlander Golf Course with many more courses near the Wenatchee Valley. Pick up that split. Wenatchee Valley's only bowling alley — Eastmont Lanes — is located at 704 Grant Road. Ride the Loop. Hop on the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail at the foot of Ninth, 15th, 19th, 27th or 32nd streets. The eastside stretch of the 10-mile loop trail offers such gems as Jude's Oasis, Porter's Pond and Coyote Dunes. All great spots for viewing birds, beavers and (in season) migrating salmon.

Finding the right pumpkin for Halloween really isn’t supposed to be a hair raising experience but that doesn’t keep Ashley Vassar, Coulee City, from playing with her daughter’s hair while wandering through Annie’s Fun Farm in East Wenatchee.

Ride some more. The 5-mile Loop Trail extension runs north from the Odabashian Bridge to Lincoln Rock State Park. The route rolls through orchards with great views just on the other side of the Columbia River. Find your thrill. If the Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail has a thrill spot — a point where hikers and bikers say, "Whoa, mama, this is cool!" — it's gotta be the 1,000-foot-long Pipeline Pedestrian Bridge, the first vehicle bridge across the Columbia River. Archaeology: Can you dig it? Clovis stone and bone tools were discovered near East Wenatchee and are more than 11,000 years old. Ice Age floods shaped much of what you see in the valley, with some of the ancient deluges rising to 1,100 feet. And there were a lot of floods. Maybe 90 or so. Feel the power. Publicly owned dams on the Columbia River provide the cheapest power in the United States, about a third of Seattle's rates and a fifth of California's. The Douglas County PUD, headquartered in East Wenatchee, runs Wells Dam, located on the Columbia River just a few miles south of Pateros. Find your calm. The Bridge of Friendship Japanese Garden in East Wenatchee is so creatively designed — shade, breezes, flowing water — that visitors can find cool relief even on the hottest summer evenings. This pocket park is tucked only a dozen steps from the busy intersection of Ninth Street NE and Eastmont Avenue. Hit the rocky road. Squint your eyes to imagine the area's geologic wonders of 18,000 years ago by taking the Ice Age Flood Loop driving tour, a day-long, 164-mile jaunt through some of the region's most dramatic cliffs, canyons, ravines and boulder stacks. Pick up a driving map at area Chambers of Commerce offices or visitor centers at Dry Falls and Grand Coulee Dam.

A bald eagle flies over its nest, occupied by other eagles in black cottonwood trees at the Horan Natural Area in Wenatchee.

Wildlife North Central Washington is loaded with chances to see wildlife. Pick just about any waterfront park, natural area, state park, trail or back road and you’re guaranteed to see some critter. There are eagles along the Columbia River and its tributaries, bighorn sheep along Highway 97A north of Wenatchee, and deer pretty much everywhere.

Birds

Eagles and hawks can be seen up and down the Columbia River from numerous vantage points, as well as along the Wenatchee, Entiat, Methow and Okanogan rivers.

Some Leavenworth sights walk on four legs.

The 11-mile Apple Capital Recreation Loop Trail in Wenatchee has an abundance of birds and areas to view them. Walla Walla Point Park and the adjoining Horan Natural Area are good places to start. The Beebe Springs Natural Area along Highway 97 northeast of Chelan is an easy stop off the road. In addition to eagles, hawks, osprey, herons and American dippers, you may also see fence lizards, deer, river otters and beaver. Leavenworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Enchantment Park and Blackbird Island offer 2.5 miles of waterfront trails with birding opportunities. An area stretching between Moses Lake and Grand Coulee in Grant County is part of the Great Washington State Birding Trail (wa. audubon.org/great-washingtonstate-birding-trail) for its abundance of birds year-round. A string of man-made and natural lakes and

more than 50 separate recreation areas along the Highway 17 corridor is home to hundreds of bird species. Check out the Cassimer Bar Wildlife Area, at the confluence of the Columbia and Okanogan rivers, just off Highway 97. Turn off Highway 97 near milepost 264.

Fish

The fish hatcheries in Leavenworth, up the Entiat Valley, at Chelan Falls and at Winthrop are also good spots to see salmon in the fall. The Wenatchee and Icicle rivers are teeming with big salmon in the fall as they return to spawning grounds. They are easily seen from Enchantment Park and Blackbird Island in Leavenworth. From there, head west on Highway 2 into Tumwater Canyon to watch

salmon try to jump up the face of Tumwater Dam.

Big game

Drive north on Highway 97A out of Wenatchee and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go far before you get into bighorn sheep country. They are often seen close to the highway, but most likely behind a fence installed a few years ago to keep them out of the roadway. A drive up the Entiat Valley is scenic and will often times result in deer sightings. Deer are everywhere in the Methow Valley in Okanogan County, but often congregate along Highway 20 just south of Winthrop and along the Loup Loup Highway south of Twisp. Deer can also been seen along the foothills trails west of Wenatchee.

Dams

Rocky Reach Dam, seven miles north of Wenatchee on Highway 97A, is a publicly-owned dam operated by the Chelan County PUD. The Visitor Center will reopen in the spring after a months-long renovation. Info: (509) 663-7522, chelanpud.org

to the public but check out the waterfront’s meandering paths from downtown that will get you near the dam. Wanapum Dam, operated by the Grant County PUD, is on the Columbia River six miles downstream of Vantage. The Visitor Center is open weekends during the fall and winter.

Grand Coulee Dam, located 58 miles northeast of Ephrata on Highway 155, is the largest hydroelectric dam in the U.S. The dam is operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and offers year round tours of the facility.Info: (509) 633-9265, usbr.gov/pn/grandcoulee

Wells Dam, 50 miles north of Wenatchee off Highway 97, is operated by Douglas County PUD.

Chief Joseph Dam, near Bridgeport, is the second-largest hydropower-producing dam in the United States. It puts out enough electricity to power all of Seattle. Info: Facebook Behind the dam is 51-mile-long Rufus Woods Lake. Lake Chelan Dam is at the base of the lake in the city of Chelan. Operated by the Chelan County PUD. The dam is not open

Marie Stenberg, Entiat, holds her service dog Ruby at the Entiat Holiday Bazaar.

Entiat E

ntiat, at the confluence of the Entiat and Columbia rivers, sits right off Highway 97A between Wenatchee and Lake Chelan. It’s one of the towns that was relocated to higher ground when Rocky Reach Dam was built across the Columbia River in 1960. The city has two waterfront parks — the 40-acre Entiat City Park and Kiwanis Park, and a third on the way — which make it a good place to stop, grab a bite to eat and stretch your legs. Or stay for a while. You’ll find playground equipment, camping for RVs and tents, a boat launch, and the Entiaqua Trail along the Columbia and Entiat rivers. A side trip up the Entiat River Valley will reveal fruit orchards, the Entiat National Fish Hatchery and Silver Falls and its family-friendly trail. It’s a nice drive in the fall when the trees are turning color. The valley is one of North Central Washington’s hidden secrets.

If you’ve never had gelato, you’re in for a real treat! The word means frozen, and like ice cream, gelato is made from milk and served in a dish or cone. We serve both sweet and savory crêpes and a full range of espresso drinks. And for a grab-and-go treat that’s truly different, try a gelato panini—a warm and crispy grilled brioche with a scoop of ice-cold gelato at the center.

Waterville W

aterville is a great jumping-off point for exploring the sweeping, wheat-covered Waterville Plateau and accessing the rest of North Central Washington. It’s mid-way between Seattle and Spokane on Highway 2, a scenic east-west alternative to

the grind of Interstate 90. Once in town, be sure to check out the historic Douglas County Courthouse. If you’re a photographer, you’ll love the old barns and farmhouses in the surrounding, rolling wheat fields. There are also downtown storefronts

that reflect the town’s 1889 founding. And at 2,622 feet above sea level, Waterville tops all other municipalities in the state as the incorporated town that’s perched the highest. Information: watervillewashington.org If you’re a skier, check out the Badger Mountain

Ski Area just south of town. It’s a family friendly place with family friendly ski tickets. Waterville is also on the Ice Age Floods geological trail and you can take a short drive north of this wheat town to see “erratics,” housesized boulders dropped by an Ice Age ice sheet.

The Wenatchee World Visitors Guide | 2020-21

Beginning skiers use a rope tow at the Badger Mountain Ski Hill, with Waterville in the background.

World photos/Don Seabrook

Gloves and a hat dry at the Badger Mountain Ski Hill Lodge. Look for an amazing collection of the erratics on the eye-popping drive through McNeil Canyon Road toward Chelan. Drive east on Highway 2 to tiny Douglas and lovely, gleaming St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. Head east to Dry Falls State Park and its dramatic overlook and smart visitors center.

Turn right and head south on Highway 17 and take in the beautiful, dramatic drive on the edge of the Chain Lakes, south to Soap Lake. Turn left and head north about 30 miles to Grand Coulee Dam. A real ‘wow’ attraction Dry Falls gushes superlatives. The longest, the tallest, the fastest and now

— about 15,000 years after its last dribble — the driest. The 400-foot-high, 3.5-milelong basalt precipice just south of Coulee City is the former lip of what’s touted as the world’s biggest known waterfall. (Ten times the size of wimpy Niagara.) When glacial dams crumbled to release massive Ice Age floods

through the Columbia Basin, deep rivers of water coursed 65 mph over Dry Falls’ scalloped edge and raced south to carve the Channeled Scablands. Today’s visitors can inch to the end of a short but thrilling overlook and visit the interpretive center to learn about cataclysmic flooding and oozing magma.

Cashmere

ashmere is an often-overlooked gem tucked between Wenatchee and Leavenworth. The charming town is at its peak during the fall, as the leaves begin to change and its river slows to a sleepy trickle. Cottage Avenue is Cashmere’s “Main Street” and in October you’ll find scarecrows in front shops and eateries, including Brian’s Bulldog Pizza and Bowling, which features a four-lane bowling alley. There are also several options along Highway 2/97 for antique collectors. If you’re hungry for pulled pork or ribs, check out Country Boys BBQ. Local favorite Rusty’s is known for its burgers and shakes and has a park-like picnic area behind the drive-thru. One street over from the main drag is Mission Avenue and the candy-maker Aplets and Cotlets. Do the popular candy-making tour, try a free sample or two. For treats of another type, just down Mission Avenue is the Five O’Clock Somewhere Distillery

ucked away between the peaks of the Central Cascade mountains is a tiny Bavarian town transplanted there in the 1960s. The town features all kinds of German cuisine and culture including Bratwurst, beer halls and a nutcracker museum. A New York Times article described the town as, “like living in a snow globe.” Winter is the best time for the town to shine. The village is decorated with close to 500,000 Christmas lights and they stay up from Thanksgiving to Valentine’s Day weekend.

Every year thousands of lights are hung on downtown Leavenworth for holidays.

People can also visit the Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery located off of Icicle Creek Road. The hatchery is open every day of the year and tours are available.

Main drag

Front Street is the tourist heart of town. From Gustavâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s burger restaurant (gustavsleaven worth.com) to the Festhalle civic center (leavenworthfesthalle.com), this is the thoroughfare where Leavenworth is its most Leavenworthian. The central square is dominated by the town gazebo. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s live music on festival weekends and a junior hill nearby good for sledding in the winter months for children. Shopfronts facing the downtown park are among the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest buildings. Commercial Street is the last boulevard before you run into the Wenatchee River. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find food and the cascade Medical Center (cascademedical.org). The street slopes west toward on over several entrances to Waterfront Park, an idyllic trail system running along the riverside.

Bare trees create a white contrast to evergreen trees in the sunlight near Plain.

Lake Wenatchee Beautiful, serene, breathtaking — these are some words that can be used to describe Lake Wenatchee. Situated in the heart of Lake Wenatchee State Park, the glacial lake is surrounded by dense forest and rugged mountains. It is a paradise year-round, but in the winter it turns into a wonderland. Lake Wenatchee covers 2,445 acres and offers trails for hikers, bikers and horses in the summer. In the winter, the lake is a perfect spot for snowshoeing and cross country skiing. Weather depending, the lake also can allow ice fishing and ice skating during the winter months. To find Lake Wenatchee, take a detour off Highway 2 at Coles Corner, between Stevens Pass and Tumwater Canyon. A mile north of Lake Wenatchee is Fish Lake, which offers year-round fishing opportunities. On the way is the entrance to the Sno-Park that features groomed snowmobile trails that wind through the

forest to Entiat. Follow the Chiwawa Loop Road a few miles further to the community of Plain. Along the way, you’ll see Mountain Springs Lodge that features snowmobile tours and sleigh rides. In Plain, you’ll find a restaurant, grocery store, hardware store and access to all sorts of information about things to do in the area. Watch for the Plain Eiffel Tower, a scaled down replica of the real deal, and a Statue of Liberty, made by local craftsmen. The Plain Nordic Ski Trail, across the street from the hardware store, is groomed for both classic and skate skiing. Plain Hardware rents skis and snowshoes and sleds and has a collection of maps to help direct visitors to outdoor recreation opportunities. From Plain, you can complete the loop back to Lake Wenatchee on Beaver Valley Road, or head toward Leavenworth, via Beaver Hill and the windy Chumstick Highway.

Railroad history Stevens Pass is named for John F. Stevens. He was the Great Northern Railway engineer who punched the railroad through the pass. He also played an important role in the Panama Canal. Check out the Iron Goat Trail at the Cascade crest on Highway 2. The signs for the trailhead start by the red caboose with the Great Northern mountain goat logo on the side.

Where we grow grapes in NCW N

orth Central Washington has four American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), which are officially designated wine-grape growing regions. Each has its own distinct climate, soils, elevation and other features that affect the quality and characteristics of its grapes.

Columbia Valley AVA

Established: 1984 as the state’s third appellation. Size: 11 million acres and encompassing most of the Columbia Basin. It’s the state’s largest AVA, where 99 percent of wine grapes in the state are grown. It contains 10 sub-appellations, including three in NCW.

Production: 43,000 acres in vine, with 6,070 acres solely in Columbia Valley AVA and no other appellation; 58 percent red, 42 percent white Grapes: Most varieties are represented, including Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah, Malbec and Pinot Gris. Distinguishing features: Soils are defined by the ancient Missoula Glacial Floods of 15,000 to 18,000 years ago. Many vineyards are below the flood line in soils of loess — windblown deposits of sand and silt — which lie atop gravel, which lie atop basalt bedrock. These well-drained sediments are considered perfect for viticulture.

Wahluke Slope AVA

Established: 2006 as the state’s 8th appellation and a sub-appellation of the Columbia Valley AVA. Size: 81,000 acres. Production: 6,645 acres cultivated; 67 percent red, 34 percent white. Grapes: Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc. Distinguishing features: The area lies on a broad, south-facing slope with constant 8 percent grades, deep topsoil and good drainage. It has one of the driest, warmest climates in the state, allowing for nearly complete control of vine vigor and ripening through irrigation.

Wines for judging

Lake Chelan AVA

Established: 2009 as the state’s 11th appellation and a sub-appellation of the Columbia Valley AVA. Size: 24,040 acres. Production: 247 acres cultivated; 51 percent red, 49 percent white. Grapes: Syrah, Merlot, Malbec, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Chardonnay Distinguishing features: Climate is moderated by the thermal effect of Lake Chelan. Soils have loaded with pumice and ash from volcanic eruptions, primarily from Glacier Peak located to the west of the AVA.

Ancient Lakes AVA

Established: 2012 as the state’s 13th appellation and a sub-appellation of the Columbia Valley AVA. Size: 162,762 acres. Production: 1,399 acres cultivated; 20 percent red, 80 percent white. Grapes: Chardonnay, Riesling, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Bordeaux varieties. Distinguishing features: Sixty-five different soil types in the AVA have been identified, most produced by the Missoula Glacial Floods. The most commons soils are fine, sandy loam that contribute to wines with higher acidity levels and, with reds, a greater tannic impact.

The Quincy Public Market opened in October of 2019.

rant County, situated squarely on the Columbia Basin Plateau, has a lot to offer in the way of natural beauty. Deep coulees, wide rivers, fields of wildflowers and volcanic buttes are just some of the stunning features of the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desert landscape. Visit Soap Lake to bask in its healing suds, The Feathers to watch rock-climbers inch their way up towering basalt cliffs, or Quincy for hunting, fishing, or hiking along the many trails.

OPEN SEASONALLY MAYâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;OCTOBER

The Wenatchee World Visitors Guide | 2020-21

Quincy Cheap hydro power has made Quincy a computer-farm capital. Microsoft, Yahoo, Dell, Intuit and others call Quincy home and are stacking servers next to long-time food-processors. Nearby Crescent Bar is a riverfront community on a Columbia River island. Nearby Ancient Lakes boasts dramatic natural features that include small and large lakes, desert waterfalls, sagebrush, birds and hiking trails. This area also is good for fishing, hunting and horseback riding. Snow can be scarce here, so winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often short and the recreation season long. Lakes fill with melting ice runoff and seeping irrigation water. Very primal, the timeworn trails lead hikers and horsemen back through the ages, through millennia of geologic and archaeological history, through a majestic tableau of buttes, ice-carved waterways and sun-seared skies.

The Feathers climbing area of the Frenchman Coulee near Vantage is a climbing mecca.

The Feathers You don’t have to be a rock-climber to experience vertigo from The Feathers. Just stand at the base of this spread of six-story high basalt columns and look up. Notice the tiny helmeted figures clinging for their lives by finger-and toe-tips. The rumor is they’re having fun. One of the state’s most popular rock-climbing sites, The Feathers stands just west of George near the rim of Frenchman Coulee — a wide, high-walled gouge scoured clean by ancient floods. This breathtaking combination — columns thrusting skyward, basalt cliffs zig-zagging into deep canyon — has to be one of Eastern Washington’s grandest sights.

Soap Lake

Ephrata

The lakeside city has been a popular tourist destination for decades because the high mineral content in the lake is said to have healing properties. The lake water is sudsy and tastes awful, but adding Soap Lake’s mineral rich water to your bath and diet will cure what ails you. And if that doesn’t work, you can wallow like one happy hog in its therapeutic (if stinky) mud — touted for centuries as a cure-all by Native Americans and today by immigrant Ukrainians who claim the tar-like stuff eases arthritis and psoriasis. These healing properties harken back to Soap Lake’s heyday as a well-known resort and health spa in the early 1900s. What’s known for sure is that this meromictic (multi-layered) soda lake contains large quantities of 23 dissolved minerals — i.e., sodium, potassium, magnesium — and, hey, you float like a cork.

Ephrata is home to the Grant County Courthouse and headquarters for the Grant County PUD, which operates two Columbia River dams: Priest Rapids and Wanapum.

Chelan N

Instructor Oro Starcher works with Tanner Shumway, 7, of Chelan, as he learns to use the rope tow at Echo Valley Ski Area near Chelan.

ative Americans called it “Tsillan” — “deep water” — and it’s easy to see why. Lake Chelan has a depth of 1,500 feet, making it the third-deepest lake in North America. Lined by orchards, vineyards, homes and wilderness, Lake Chelan stretches 50 miles from Chelan to Stehekin and North Cascades National Park. The area offers opportunities for wine tasting, eating and drinking, shopping and visiting fruit stands. The city of Chelan is at the south end of the lake. It’s home to tiny Ruby Theatre, which opened in 1914 and is one of the state’s oldest movie spots. The city’s oldest building, St. Andrews Episcopal Church, is made of logs and has a charming, quiet courtyard. Just off downtown, Chelan Riverwalk Park offers a 1-mile scenic loop trail and easy access to the Woodin Avenue Bridge, which crosses the Chelan River by historic Campbell’s Resort. You’ll also find the pilot house of the original Lady of the Lake, a 60-year-old, 65-foot-long wooden ferryboat salvaged in 2001. Lake Chelan’s slopes boast orchards of world-class tree fruit. Fruit stands around the lake make enticing stops. Head north to Manson’s Mill Bay Casino, where you’ll find slot machines, table games, concerts and dining. Keep going up the lake and discover Manson, which offers great views of surrounding mountains.

The

Okanogan I

t may be the largest county in the state of Washington (5,268 square miles), but at just eight people per square mile, Okanogan isn’t known for being very populous. What Okanogan County lacks in permanent residents, however, it makes up for in wide-open land. With its quaint towns and breathtaking landscapes, the county is the perfect place to explore. Whether you are a history buff, golf enthusiast, fishman, shopaholic, or skier, Okanogan County has something for you.

Omak

Omak is the shopping heart of the Okanogan Valley, with big-box stores and restaurants along Highway 97. It’s a good jumping-off point for adventures around Okanogan County. In town, check out the Omak Performing Arts Center’s productions. Also check out the 12 Tribes Casino, the newest and biggest casino in North Central Washington, on Highway 97. Omak’s 12 Tribes Resort & Casino in Omak is the biggest casino in North Central Washington, joining other casinos in Manson on Lake Chelan, and Coulee Dam. The Omak casino — just off Highway 97 between Omak and Okanogan — has 500 electronic slot machines, blackjack, roulette wheels, craps tables and poker games. Its 80-room, four-story hotel overlooks the Okanogan Valley and includes a spa offering everything from manicures to massages. There’s a 40-foot by 20-foot indoor pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, two restaurants and a night club with live music.

Tonasket

Sitzmark Ski Area has 80 acres of terrain for all skill levels and offers a double chair lift, rope tow, bunny hill and terrain park. Information: gositzmark.org. Check out snowmobiling (parks. wa.gov) or try your luck ice-fishing on Palmer Lake, or Lake Osoyoos or try the Okanogan and Columbia rivers.

Brewster and Pateros

These twin cities on the Columbia River are a fishing mecca. Steelheaders flock to Pateros to fish at the mouth of the Methow River, and to Brewster for the salmon returns. Nearby Gamble Sands Golf Course — is one of the best new courses in the nation, according to Golf Digest magazine. Okanogan boasts an iconic county courthouse and billboards all over town featuring photographs by Japanese immigrant Frank Matsura of turn-of-the-century pioneers and American Indians. The Okanogan County Historical Museum has hundreds more early photos, along with a building full of historical displays. Chief Joseph, the famous Nez Perce leader who led his people from their home in Oregon to the Colville Indian Reservation more than 100 years ago, is buried in Nespelem, to the east in Okanogan County, where a statue of the chief was erected at a rest area. The Nez Perce are one of 12 bands that make up the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. Chief Joseph Dam near Bridgeport was named after him, and the new Chief Joseph Hatchery is just below the dam.
