Hi All

I'm still not able (allowed) to drive but thought some others would be interested in this event. Also if anyone is going and will be starting west of the Narrows Bridge and wouldn't mind stopping to pick me up, please let me know!

Cheers, Paula Varner

"The bottom line about this trail guide: It’s new, it’s current, it’s packed with
hikes within an hour’s drive of the Wenatchee Valley, it covers the community trails
(e.g., Sage Hills, Saddlerock) many guidebooks ignore, it’s well researched and
accurate, and there are useful topo maps for each hike."- Wenatchee Outdoors
