Peshastin Pinnacles
About
Peshastin Pinnacles is a 34-acre Washington state park managed by the state park agency, about 3 miles from the town of Cashmere. Its small footprint sits right beside a cluster of named climbing areas, which makes it a compact base for time on the rock. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from late spring into early fall. At a nearby weather station in Leavenworth, typical average highs reach about 71°F in May and 78°F in September, while July and August average highs climb to about 87°F. Orchard Rock, Sunset Slab and Austrian Slab are all about 0.1 mile away. For a hike, Wet Hay Trail lies about 1.2 miles off.
