4. Cashmere to Chelan
CASHMERE TO CHELAN – 119 MILES
Heading north up Nahahum Canyon from Cashmere brings riders to a 360-degree view atop Chumstick Peak at 5,810 feet. The route then winds up and over Roaring Ridge in the Entiat Mountains before descending steep switchbacks to the one-store town of Ardenvoir, which has a small cafe, gas, and basic rations (closed on Wednesdays). After heading down canyon on paved Entiat River Roa,d the track then turns north, follows a meandering sandy 2-track road, and then rises to Steliko Lookout Tower before returning to the Ardenvoir area. The next 30 miles have a gain of over 4,000 feet as riders climb McKenzie Ridge and the Chelan Mountains. Views of Lake Chelan appear as travelers traverse Slide Ridge before the descent to 25 Mile Creek State Park on the lakeshore. An optional advanced section before Lake Chelan is available and has been aptly named “The Jungle” due to its remote and overgrown nature. The final part of Section 4 follows the southern Lake Chelan shoreline east to the full-service town of Chelan.
