Dinner
Pybus Public Market
3 N Worthen St
Pybus Public Market is a destination where people gather to experience quality food, goods, and services from local businesses. We offer a platform for farmers, artisans, and nonprofit organizations. We honor history, promote growth, and provide an outlet for community arts, education, and charities.
Pybus Public Market sits in a historic steel warehouse built in 1946 by E.T. Pybus, a Yorkshire-born blacksmith who moved to Wenatchee in 1911. After decades of vacancy, the Port of Chelan County purchased the building in 2010 with the vision of transforming it into a vibrant community hub. Local residents Mike and JoAnn Walker spearheaded redevelopment plans, and by May 2013, the once-abandoned warehouse reopened as Pybus Public Market — a lively destination celebrating local food, art, and culture while honoring its industrial roots.
After-Dinner
Walk on the Apple Capital Loop Trail
wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/apple-capital-recreation-loop-trail
This is a 10-mile, paved loop on both sides of the Columbia River near Wenatchee. The trail was completed in 1990 by the Chelan County PUD, connecting residents in the area with nature right in their backyards.
The trail features an urban waterfront, as well as diverse natural habitats for wildlife in the area.
The multi-use trail is well-used by both recreators and commuters. Thousands of people use the trail each year, and it's accessible year-round; even in winters with heavy snow, cross-country skiers and snowshoers love this route.
Cross the Wenatchee River twice and the Columbia River once. Take particular note of the area where the Wenatchee River empties into the Columbia. There is riverfront beach access as it passes through several parks.
The Apple Capital Loop Trail is closed at the Clark Pipeline Bridge and both access points until November 2026 for construction of new pedestrian and bicycle bridges. This means the full loop is not accessible, but you can still enjoy out-and-back sections from either side, such as heading north from Pybus Public Market to the Odabashian Bridge and Lincoln Rock State Park, or exploring the trail until you reach the closure.

Clara and Marion’s Trail begins at the Mission Ridge Ski Area parking lot, climbing quickly through pine forests and wildflowers. Along the way, it passes trail junctions, a creek crossing, and the clear waters of Clara Lake before reaching Marion Lake, a small lake with a scenic island and basalt slopes. While the official trail ends here, the surrounding terrain offers opportunities for further exploration toward Mission Ridge’s summit. Maps attached.

We aim to connect by creating relationships with people and local businesses to provide you with the freshest ingredients possible. We want to bring you the familiar atmosphere of sitting on the back porch with good friends, grilling burgers, and sipping on a cold beer, or the first bite of charred marshmallow s’mores made over the campfire on a cool summer night. We’re here to provide you with the nutrients you need to get out, explore, connect with others, and take the time to savor life.

After Breakfast
Hike Saddle Rock
https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/saddle-rock#hike-full-description
Saddle Rock is an ideal overlook trail for Wenatchee. The trail follows an old road most of the way to a viewpoint dotted with craggy, pointed rocks called Saddle Rock.
The road-turned trail is graveled. After 1.4 miles and 900 feet of elevation gain on the gravel road, you reach a viewpoint with two benches. Here you can see most of the city of Wenatchee to the north and east.
From there you can take a single-track dirt trail for 0.15 mile and 80 feet down to another viewpoint at a saddle between two large rock formations. Here you can see the south end of Wenatchee and Columbia River.
In spring the trail is dotted with flowers such as balsamroot, desert parsley, and lupine. This is an excellent location for folks looking to get some conditioning in during the winter months, or just wanting to stretch their legs after a long day behind a desk.
Lunch
Pinnacle Beerworks
18 N. Mission St.
At the heart of this brewery are two passionate individuals with a combined 15 years of experience in the brewing industry. Their dedication to customer service and a love for crafting memorable experiences is evident in everything they do. However, while their brewing expertise is undeniable, what truly sets them apart is their focus on an unexpected star of the menu—sandwiches. The Mortazza, their signature creation, is a simple yet mouthwatering sandwich made with thin and crunchy white pizza dough. It's a must-try for anyone looking to pair a great pint with unforgettable food.
Beyond the original Mortazza, the brewery offers a range of creative variations to satisfy all tastes.
Ohme Gardens
3327 Ohme Road
ohmegardens.org
In 1929 Herman Ohme purchased 40 acres of land for an orchard. Included was a craggy, dry, desolate, rock-strewn bluff with a breathtaking view of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains and the shimmering Columbia River valley. Herman and his new bride, Ruth, loved to stand on the bluff and dream of flourishing alpine meadows, shimmering pools and shady evergreen pathways where the hot, relentless summer sun allowed only sage and scrub desert growth. It was hard work, done mostly by hand, and truly a labor of love. In the beginning, sustaining the Gardens meant hauling water in five gallon buckets from the river valley below. The Ohme's continued to perfect the Gardens for 42 years, until 1971 when Herman died at the age of 80. The couple's son Gordon and his family then assumed responsibility for the Gardens, and in 1991 Washington State Parks and Recreation purchased the Gardens and surrounding property.
