Peshastin Pinnacles State Park
Sandstone spires rising from among orchards, a classic sandstone climbing area in Washington State. A short trail climbs for views over the Wenatchee Valley.
Peshastin Pinnacles lies beside Highway 2. Several sandstone slabs and spires up to about 60 m tall rise from apple and pear orchards in striking shapes. It is one of the earliest climbing areas in Washington State, with many traditional routes on the rock faces. Visitors who don't climb can follow a trail of about 1.5 km up the hillside for views over the river valley's orchards and the distant Cascades. The park is open during the day, and parking requires a Discover Pass. There is no shade in summer, so take care with sun protection and watch for rattlesnakes. It is about 15 km from Leavenworth.
