Beat the Heat, Wenatchee Style

It's the height of summer, and there's nothing quite like a paddle or float down the river to cool off. Grab your board or tube, soak in that sunshine, and let the current carry you into the best part of your day. This is what summer's all about — and honestly, it's why #WeLiveHere.

Drop your favorite float in the comments — we want to know where you're cooling off this summer!

📸 Out on the water this weekend? Tag us in your adventures, we love seeing where you go!

Supporting the Future of the Enchantments Last y

Supporting the Future of the Enchantments

Last year, our incredible volunteers stepped up to care for the Enchantments. We are endlessly grateful for your dedication!

Following recent discussions with the U.S. Forest Service and community leaders, Wenatchee Outdoors has decided to pause our volunteer stewardship program this season.

Why the shift?
With visitation hitting up to 1,000 hikers a day, the strain on this landscape is immense. Protecting the Enchantments requires long-term, systemic management solutions rather than relying primarily on volunteer efforts.

What’s next?
Our commitment hasn't changed. We are shifting our focus to support collaborative efforts with the USFS and elected officials to advance a comprehensive long-term day-use management strategy that truly protects this extraordinary wilderness.

Doing Our Part
Healthy wilderness requires shared stewardship. Whether it’s your 1st visit or your 50th, the best way to help right now is to practice Leave No Trace and pack out everything you bring in.

Thank you to every volunteer, partner, and visitor. We look forward to sharing updates as these collaborative efforts move forward!

Ever wonder about the hidden history right in our backyard?

Before Mission Ridge, there was the Number Two Canyon ski hill! Generations ago, locals would gather in the canyon just outside Wenatchee to rope-tow up the slopes and ski the day away. Today, Nature has reclaimed most of it, but the memories and a few rusty remnants remain.

In our latest article, we dive into the fascinating history of this "lost" local ski hill, how it shaped our valley's outdoor community, and what it looks like today.

"Thank you, Sarah. A lot of people got outside because of you, people who might not have otherwise. The trails are better-documented, the community is more connected to its wild places, and this organization is stronger than it was ten years ago."

Tiny Worlds, Big Discoveries at WenOut Kids!

This past Thursday, we had a very special guest join our WenOut Kids crew! A huge thank you to Ryley from the @wenymca , who brought out her incredible portable microscopes. The kids had an absolute blast getting a closer look at the hidden wonders of our local trails.

We love seeing our community partners inspire the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts, but all good things must come to an end... for now! We are wrapping up these May adventures at the end of the month, which means you have one last chance to join the fun.

Don't miss our final WenOut Kids session this coming Thursday! Come out and celebrate a fantastic month of trail exploration with us.
