Peshastin Pinnacles State Park, State park in Chelan County, US.
Peshastin Pinnacles State Park is a recreational area in Chelan County featuring tall sandstone spires and rocks above the Wenatchee River Valley, surrounded by mountains and orchards. The formations cover about 34 acres and offer numerous climbing routes across different difficulty levels.
The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission designated this area as a state park in 1991 to protect its geological structures for public use. This decision helped transform it into a regional hub for climbing and outdoor recreation.
Rock climbers visit regularly to practice on the sandstone formations, making this a gathering place for the climbing community in the region. This activity shapes how people experience and use the park's landscape today.
The park is open from 6:30 AM until dusk during the warmer months and requires a parking pass for the main entrance lot. Visitors planning to climb should bring proper equipment and experience, as the sandstone features vary in difficulty and technical demands.
The sandstone rocks rise to about 1,300 feet elevation and offer views toward the Enchantment Range and surrounding mountain chains. A rare plant species called Amelanchier cusickii grows among the rocks, adding an unexpected botanical element to the climbing experience.
