Description
Lower Sage climbs gently with flat sections up to a large rock which makes a great lookout over the town of Wenatchee. The trail is fairly well traveled by hikers, mountain bikers, and runners. Some portions are deeply rutted and narrow, but still easy to navigate and work around. The trail leads to several more intersections that are not signed, but you can see far enough to pick the trail you need. Please respect trail restoration areas and stay off of closed unsanctioned trails.
