Malaga Tour

Malaga Tour
Wenatchee Valley Museum Presents-
Malaga Tour
July 8 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
| $35 – $40
On this geologic venture we will first visit two locations where gold has been mined within the vicinity of Wenatchee, Washington. Mining for gold started almost 150 years by the Chinese around 1870 in an area that later became the location of the Gold King/Lovitt Mines. In 1985 the Cannon Mine opened and operated for about 10 years producing more than one-million ounces of gold and in excess of two-million ounces of silver before closing in 1994 due to lack of mineable reserves.
Several unique geologic features will be observed along the field trip route. These include Saddle Rock, Owl Sisters, and Stemilt Pinnacles. All these features are known to have Native American significance.
Imagine a wall of water almost 1,000 feet deep encompassing the Wenatchee valley. The Ice Age Floods story will be highlighted at several stops along the field trip route. The enormous Pangborn Bar, thousands of bed-load boulders rolled from distance locations, and the Moses Coulee flood bar are a few of the specific features that will be observed.
Our last stop on the field trip excursion will be at the Malaga Springs Winery. The site lies at the base of Jump-Off-Joe Ridge high on the hillside south of Malaga, Washington. An overview of the unique geology and Ice Age Floods story will be explained at this stop best due to the great scenic vistas from this location. This will be our lunch stop and time will allow wine tasting.
Please see this link for more information and to sign up for this event.

New Experiences WenOut Hike!
WenatcheeOutdoors.org presents-
New Experiences WenOut Fam Hike!
The second outing will be at Devils Spur Trail near Mission Ridge on June 21st, a Wednesday at 5:30 pm.
This will be roughly a 1 hour long hike at your own pace. I suggest bringing food in the car for dinner for the drive home for your little one or a picnic dinner to eat during or after the hike.
Directions for Devils Spur Trail-Drive up Squilchuck Road toward Mission Ridge. Follow the Squilchuck Rd for 3.5 miles past Squilchuck State Park. At a switchback about 1 mile before the ski area, you’ll find a turnoff/large parking lot on the right with a huge rock. Beyond the gate is a sign and map. The sign says “Devil’s Spur” but people also call this the Devils Tie-In. If you are in luck, no one will have ripped off the sign and you can see where you’re headed.
This is a wide graveled trail with great views of the Wenatchee Valley. There are two spots where streams meet the trail, for kids to play in or just to admire. A great hike on a hot day.
For more information on Devils Spur see our guidebook post HERE.

NEW TOUR! Explore significant cultural sites of the Sinkiuse people including paint gathering, projectile manufacturing and cave locations with guide Randy Lewis.
Randy Lewis grew up with a strong understanding and sense of place within Native American Columbia Plateau indigenous society. Lewis traces his roots to the Wenatchi band. His life experiences includes fishing at Celilo Falls before waters from the construction of The Dalles Dam inundated the Columbia River site, putting an end to an 11,000-year-old 9-mile-long indigenous fishery. Besides Wenatchee Heights and Celilo Falls, Lewis lived with extended family in Okanagan County and Ellensburg. All of those different experiences contribute to the wealth of knowledge he is eager to share. Lewis’ enthusiasm for the history of his people, the stories of his ancestors and their relation to the surrounding landscape comes from a hope for deeper understanding and respect of ancient cultures.
