Chelan Mountains

The Chelan Mountains are a rugged and scenic mountain range located in central Washington state. This range is characterized by steep, glaciated peaks, deep glacial valleys, and numerous alpine lakes. The terrain is predominantly granite, with jagged ridges, cirques, and U-shaped valleys carved by ancient glaciers. Elevations range from around 2,000 feet in the valley bottoms to over 9,000 feet at the summits of the highest peaks. The remote and wild character of the Chelan Mountains offers outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation.
