Wenatchee National Forest covers 2.2 million acres, is approximately 40 miles wide and extends nearly 135 miles along the east side of the crest of the Cascade Mountains in the state of Washington. The forest encompasses much of Chelan, Kittitas and Yakima counties in Washington. Wenatchess s vegetation varies with the elevation, from the sagebrush and pine covered slopes at 2,000 feet, to higher elevation areas with alpine fir and mountain huckleberry, to the crest of the Cascade Mountain range at 8,000 feet and above where vegetation is sparse. Approximately 40 percent of the Wenatchee Forest is designated as Wilderness in seven Wilderness Areas: Lake Chelan-Sawtooth, Glacier Peak, Henry M. Jackson, Alpine Lakes, William O. Douglas, Norse Peak, and Goat Rocks. Here, foot travel is the only method of transportation allowed, and the land is managed in such a way as to preserve its natural, primitive condition. Wenatchee National Forest is most noted for its wide range of recreation opportunities. The forest has more than 100 campgrounds and picnic sites to provide camping to an excess of 13,000 people at any one time. Wenatchee also offers hiking, biking, horse riding and several other outdoor activities all year round.
