Hike 11/22 Saddle Rock, Wenatchee
After a 1000-foot climb from the edge of Wenatchee, the Saddle Rock formation comes into view
Each spire is about 100 feet high, rising out of the sagebrush
A few ponderosa pine dot the otherwise open landscape
A tiny pool of water on the ridgetop
Wenatchee overlook
Busy place on Saddle Rock
The rock here is rhyolite, from ancient volcanoes over 40 million years ago
Handsome cones on a ponderosa pine
Hiking the excellent trail in Jacobsen Preserve
Castle Rock, another of the volcanic crags above Wenatchee
There are tons of great trails thanks to the Chelan Douglas Land Trust and Chelan County PUD
