]]> Columbia Breaks Fire Interpretive Center (CBFIC) will inform people of all ages of the historic impact and ecological role of wildland fire; the interaction of fire with human culture; the role of wildland agencies in fire management; and how the public can prevent / reduce the impact of wildfires.

The Trail of Fire and Forest is a nature walk for students and adults, is a self-guided .5 mile, 30-minute walk. It shows how wildfire has shaped the eastside forests and how people, past and present, respond to this wildfire environment.

Lookouts:
Chelan Butte: Chelan Butte lookout was moved to the site in 1996. Currently it is used for visitor education. Visitors are allowed to climb the stairs when a board member is present. Currently it has an Osborne fire finder, a wood burning stove, desk, cabinet and bed. It remains one of the highlights for hundreds of students who visit the site each spring. Goals for this lookout are to repair some of the exterior woodwork and paint it.

Badger Mtn.: This lookout was brought to the site in 1999. Goals for this structure are to fully furnish it, and to replace all the windows and shuƩers. A new railing has been installed and part of the deck has been replaced.

East Flatop: This lookout was reconstructed from some materials from the original lookout, previously located on the Gifford Pinchot NF, and from new materials purchased with the CB budget. It was completed in 2010. The lookout was built at ground level, next to the office building, to be more accessible to visitors than the other lookouts. It currently contains an Osborne fire finder, a wood‐burning stove, a weather station, fire‐fighting tools, a bed, desk, and two cabinets.

]]> Ohme Gardens Nationally acclaimed 9-acre alpine garden perched high on a rocky bluff above the Columbia River. Enjoy native stone pathways, spectacular views, pools, waterfalls, rustic shelters, wedding. Open April 15-Oct 15, daily. 

Our History

In 1929 Herman Ohme purchased 40 acres of land for an orchard. Included was a craggy, dry, desolate, rock-strewn bluff with a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains and the shimmering Columbia River valley. Herman and his new bride, Ruth, loved to stand on the bluff and dream of flourishing alpine meadows, shimmering pools and shady evergreen pathways where the hot, relentless summer sun allowed only sage and scrub desert growth. They set their minds on achieving that dream.

Small evergreens were transplanted from the nearby Cascade Mountains, native stone was hauled to form paths and borders, desert sage gave way to low-growing ground cover, and pools took shape adjacent to massive natural rock formations. It was hard work, done mostly by hand, and truly a labor of love. In the beginning, sustaining the Gardens meant hauling water in five gallon buckets from the river valley below, but eventually the Ohmes constructed an elaborate irrigation system that pumped water to the site.

Initially intended as a private family retreat, the interest of friends and community members prompted the Ohmes to open the Gardens to the public. The Ohmes continued to perfect the Gardens for 42 years, until 1971 when Herman died at the age of 80. The couple's son Gordon and his family then assumed responsibility for the Gardens, and in 1991 Washington State Parks and Recreation purchased the Gardens and surrounding property. The Gardens are currently owned and managed by Chelan County.

]]> The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is located on the sunny side of the Cascades and is known for four seasons of recreation. With 40% of the land base designated Wilderness, the forest contains some of the most remote terrain in the Northwest. Water, from rivers to lakes to snow in the winter, is a major attraction on the forest. Glacial-fed Lake Chelan is known for its deep blue waters, fjord-like gorges and water-based access extending 55 miles into the heart of the remote Cascades. Nationally recognized Scenic Byways and other major travel corridors provide convenient access to the forest from the west side of the Cascades...and relief from the weather on the wet, west side! The forests host nine national recreation trails and the final leg of the 2500-mile Pacific Crest Trail. With over 8,000 miles of roads and 3,000 miles of trails that accommodate a variety of skill levels and activities, recreationists can choose their way to get into the woods. Scenic corridors include major highway corridors (I-90, Hwys 2, 12, 410, 20, 97), paved forest and county roads, and travel on Lake Chelan. Many roads are state or federally designated Scenic Byways. Lake Chelan is a unique water corridor that provides access to a largely unroaded area of the forest by boat or plane. These corridors bisect the forest and highlight its contrasting geography and vegetation. They provide easy access to the forest and to recreation destinations year-round. Many of the lower elevation areas of the forest are easily accessible and close to communities. These areas vary from dry forest and open valleys to dense forest and mountain slopes. Visitors have opportunities to challenge themselves year-round on designated OHV (4x4, ATV, motorcycle and snowmobile) and multiple-use routes. The general forest area includes glacially carved valleys, steep slopes and open meadows. Local communities use the forest as their backyard and visitors have opportunities to explore the forest and "get away" on a variety of multi-use trails. The Okanogan Valley is in the northeast portion of the forest and includes rugged shrub-steppe rolling hills. Forestland interspersed with working ranches offers a traditional and rustic experience for visitors. Backcountry areas of the forest lie along the crest of the Cascades and include high-glaciated alpine peaks. They contain designated Wilderness as well as remote, unroaded areas. Opportunities for finding solitude, discovering self-reliance and exploring rugged terrain are found there. Visitors have opportunities for adventure on land, water and snow while enjoying the scenic beauty of the forest year-round. Developed campgrounds and dispersed camps along rushing rivers and streams are a destination during the summer. Fall brings outstanding opportunities for big game hunting. Winter activities are a key offering of the recreation program due to reliable snow and easy access. Family and group activities for increasingly diverse visitors are found throughout the forest. Recreation opportunities abound in the national forest and include boat-in camping on Lake Chelan, driving for pleasure, viewing scenery and wildlife, rock climbing, alpine skiing, winter and summer OHV routes and multiple-use trails, water-based developed and dispersed camping, gathering forest products, berry picking, Christmas tree cutting, horseback riding, hunting, fishing and the list goes on. Come visit the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, mountains to see and places to be!

]]> Pangborn Memorial Airport has proudly been in existence since 1941. The airport was named after Clyde Pangborn, who along with co-pilot Hugh Herndon completed the first nonstop flight across the Pacific Ocean in 1931. Their epic journey began in Misawa, Japan, and ended 41 hours later in East Wenatchee, Washington. In 1945, Northwest Airlines launched the first commercial passenger air service to and from Pangborn Memorial Airport and the rest is history. Our air service is now provided by Alaska Airlines and its regional subsidiary Horizon Air. With daily flights to Seattle and connections beyond, accessing the world has never been easier from the Wenatchee Valley.

Today the airport is owned by the Ports of Chelan and Douglas Counties and operated by the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority. However, it wasn’t always this way. The airport was originally governed by the City of Wenatchee, which, in recognition of the regional importance and benefit of the airport, transferred ownership to the Port of Chelan County in 1965.

Improvements to reliability and capabilities include installation of an instrument landing system in 2006 and a lead in lighting system to improve winter reliability will be operational in late 2022.  The airport’s primary runway (Runway 12/30) was extended to 7,000 feet in 2016 to accommodate larger mainline commercial aircraft like Boeing 737s and Airbus 320s. This multi-year, $30 million dollar project was funded with Airport Improvement Program funds and by the Ports of Chelan and Douglas Counties. The project was no easy feat as it required the purchase of several properties, relocation of Grant Road, and relocation of major utilities. 

With the primary runway extension complete and significant improvements to the ramp and taxiways planned, the Pangborn Memorial Airport is equipped for a bright future.  Efforts to secure a direct flight to the San Francisco Bay Area and other destinations in the west coast/mountain west are underway.

]]> Pybus Market is a remodeled historic steel warehouse located next to the Columbia River waterfront at the foot of Orondo Street in Wenatchee., adjacent to the popular Apple Capital Loop Trail. The 26,000 sq. ft. building is a year-round marketplace for restaurants, wine and food vendors and local craftsmen. It also serves as the permanent home for the Wenatchee Valley Farmer's Market. Total construction costs are estimated in the $8M to $9M range. Pybus Market is a private-public partnership between Pybus Market Charitable Foundation, the City of Wenatchee and the Port of Chelan County. Pybus Market features a fully renovated 31 ft. 1973 Airstream trailer as a drive-up and walk-up expresso stand, the first such use of this iconic trailer line in Washington state. Pybus Market also features a reconstructed flatbed rail car used as a stage for speakers and events, including concerts and musical performances. The rail car sits on rail tracks that allow it to roll inside or outside Pybus Market, based on weather conditions. Finally, Pybus Market features two bright red 5 ft. tall "public market" signs, trimmed in neon, secured to a sign bridge some 30 ft. high. Pybus Market officials expect the red neon signs to become as much a landmark as the famous sign that signals the entrance to Seattle's Pike Place Market.
