Even the drive to the trail head had lovely views! Gorgeous trails with views in all directions and not too challenging. We saw what we believe was a rattle snake on a quiet Tuesday morning hike so changed our route to give the snake a wide berth.

Curvy steep dirt road (6 miles) to the trailhead was quite difficult to drive. Also the trail to look down Wenatchee river was blocked. The south bound trails were beautiful but narrow and popular to mountain bikers.

Beautiful hike with all the wildflowers peaking! Excellent kite flying opportunities with the wind! Open without cover, so bring the sunscreen or other weather appropriate gear as needed!
