Description
This trail starts at the PUD trailhead for the Reach 1 Trail (but this isn't that trail). The Chelan Butte Trail starts across the street and pretty much goes up, up, and up. There are some small "Hiker" route signs along the way to keep you oriented and there are occasional benches to rest your feet. You are constantly rewarded with great views. There isn't any shade and only a few trees along the way. Much of the route follows a ridgeline. The top of the ridge has a number of radio/communication towers. Reverse the route and come down.
