Wenatchee Guard Station Rc

The Wenatchee Guard Station sits on a grassy clearing on a high plateau dotted with mixed conifers, and offers a peaceful view of the northern tip of the Blue Mountains. In the spring, wild flowers, such as Yarrow, Pipers Anemone, Big Leaf Sandwort, Showy Aster, Camas Pink Fairies, Daisies and Peavine, and sagebrush cascade a riot of color down the slopes into V-shaped valleys. The hills are home to herds of Rocky Mountain elk, as well as Mule and White-Tailed deer. Enjoy the solitude. Listen for the call of geese, ducks, hawks grouse, wild turkeys, screech owls, hummingbirds, woodpecker and wrens. Study the brilliant night sky and watch for the occasional meteor shooting across the inky blackness.The Wenatchee Guard Station, a white single story wood cabin, sits in a grassy clearing. It features a living room, kitchen and bedroom, and is furnished with two single beds, a futon with a mattress, chairs and a table. The cabin is equipped with propane lights and a propane heater, and the kitchen has a propane refrigerator, combined oven and stove, and some cooking and serving utensils.

HistoryThe Civilian Conservation Corps built the current structure in 1934-35, but as early as the 1910s the site was used as a Forest Guard Camp. In 1927, a log cabin was built and used as the Wenatchee Guard Station for years (the cabin no longer exists).
