Peshastin Pinnacles State Park

We took just a little jog off the highway, as we were heading toward Wenatchee to stop and hike at easily accessible Peshastin Pinnacles State Park. This is the entry to a park that is really for true rock climbers, although there are some medium to tough hiking trails too that the rest of us can enjoy.  We really liked our hiking work out here, on a bright and sunny summer day.  The rocks are spectacular.  In this picture the Pinnacles really stand out.

Heading upwards. . . . we never found an escalator.

Can you see the two true rock climbers in this picture?  They really know the skills to fully enjoy this park.

The climbers are easier to see in this close up as they are planning their next move in their ascent.

Using the hiking trails, we earned this beautiful, sweeping view of the Wenatchee Valley and the fruit orchards.  Recommended book to go with this state park trip is The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin.  See full recommendation at this link - The Orchardist recommendation

Yes, that is sheer rock!!!!  Does it look enticing to you rock climbers?  I was on the switchback trails and that was challenge enough for me!

Heading back down hill was easier, especially while treated to this breathtaking valley

Inspiration to thriving when or where no one expects it.



Always expect the unexpected.
