Geocache Description:

This cache was originally placed in 2013 as part of the Washington State Parks Centennial GeoTour - "100 caches in 100 parks to celebrate 100 years" - cosponsored by Washington State Geocaching Association (WSGA).


Peshastin Pinnacles is a 34-acre desert park named for its sandstone spires, called "pinnacles," and for the town of Peshastin, located three miles away. Rocks and trails provide views of surrounding orchards, the Cascade Mountains, and the Wenatchee River valley. The area has been popular for rock climbing since the 1960s, with climbable spires reaching 200 feet into the air.

In 1986, landowners closed the pinnacles to climbers for liability reasons. Later, The Trust for Public Land, a nonprofit group, purchased and developed the site, then sold it to Washington State Parks, making the beautiful sandstone formations again available for the public's enjoyment.
