Chikamin Ridge

Located in Wenatchee National Forest, Chikamin Ridge offers an easy route for most vehicles with mild rutting, lower than average potholes and a spectacular view at the end. Excellent drone opportunity. No pass is required for access to this trail and any of its hiking trails or ORV trails. Note that this trail is accessible to all but ATV's are not allowed on the OHV trails that are located off Chikamin Ridge. Cellular signal was also weak or nonexistent. The trail does continue slightly beyond what the map indicates but it is large rocks and about 1000 feet in, there is a downed tree completely blocking the path. The trail effectively ends at the large viewpoint which serves as the perfect turnaround, continuing further is not advised. **PLEASE NOTE** Black Bears were spotted on this trail coming back down the mountain. Bring bear spray if you are planning to hike for safety. A few large camping spots with rock fire rings were also spotted directly off the trail.
