Day Hike - Wenatchee Foothills Trails

Our route https://caltopo.com/m/UUPBR

https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/swakane-canyon we will hike to the pass mentioned in the write-up. If there is enough interest, part of the group can stop at the 5 mile point, cutting the hike to 10 miles. 

There will be daily hikes posted between April 28th and May 12th. They will all be close to Wenatchee. They are being selected and (hopefully) timed for wildflowers. 

These hikes will be at a relaxed pace with time for observation, photography, etc. We will be spending most of the day on the trail.

All of the trailheads can be easily reached by a sedan. 

Ticks, rattlesnakes, and hot weather are possibilities. 

I might have to switch hikes around based on conditions. Some trails can be closed if it is too muddy, I may switch from an exposed to a somewhat forested hike on a very hot day, etc.  

It looks like it will be a very good year for Wenatchee flowers. As of this posting, precipitation is about 20% higher than average. :-) https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/climate/yeardisp.php?stn=KEAT&wfo=otx&year=2022&span=Water+Year
