headquarters for the district for two years, and then continued on as a
standard guard station.  
  
Staying here is like stepping back in time. The rooms inside are nicely
decorated and cozy. Touches like curtains on the windows and modern furniture
add to the destination experience. Beyond the cabin is plenty of photogenic
scenery, plus options for prime fishing and hiking.

## Overview

Wenatchee Guard Station, located about 40 miles southeast of Pomeroy, offers a
panoramic view of Wenatchee Creek and access to a scenic drive along Wenatchee
Creek Canyon. The year-round cabin attracts cross country skiers and
snowmobilers in winter and horseback riders and hikers in summer. Dogs and
horses are allowed at the cabin.

The site is accessible by automobile June 1 to November 1, weather dependant.
Winter access requires skis, snowshoes or snowmobiles.  
  
As early as the 1910s, the site was used as a Forest Guard Camp. In 1927, a
log cabin was built and used until it was replaced with the current guard
station, completed in 1935 by the Civil Conservation Corps.

## Recreation

Horseback riding and hiking trails can be accessed from the cabin. Another way
to enjoy views along Wenatchee Creek is by taking a scenic drive. Berry and
mushroom picking is possible, and in winter, trails are groomed for
snowmobiling and cross country skiing.

## Facilities

The wood-framed, single story cabin accommodates up to four people. It
features a kitchen, bedroom and living room that also serves as a bedroom.
Furnishings include four single beds, chairs and a table.  
  
The cabin is equipped with propane for heat, a cook stove,
refrigerator/freezer and propane lighting. Most cleaning supplies, limited
dishes, pots, pans and utensils are provided. However, it is strongly
suggested visitors bring their own. Water is not available on-site. An
outhouse is located nearby. Though horses are allowed, there is no corral and
no hitching post; horses must be highlined—trailer access to the cabin is
difficult.  
  
Things to bring include food, water, sleeping bags or bedding, a flashlight,
matches, first aid kit, trash bags, towels and washcloths. General cleaning is
expected before departure. Mop, bucket, broom, and cleaning supplies provided
(water is not provided). Cleaning service is not always available between
guests, please leave the cabin as you would like to find it.

During the summer of 2023, updates were made to the cabin inside and out.

## Natural Features

Wenatchee Guard Station sits at 5290 ft in a grassy clearing on a high plateau
dotted with mixed conifers, offering majestic views of the northern tip of the
Blue Mountains. In the spring, wildflowers, such as yarrow, Piper's anemone,
Big-leaf sandwort, Showy Aster, Camas pink fairy, daisy and sagebrush sweep
color down the slopes into the valleys.  
  
  
  
Campers enjoy the view of Grouse Flats and look for herds of Rocky Mountain
elk, mule deer and white-tailed deer. They can also listen for the call of
geese, ducks, hawks, grouse, wild turkeys, screech owls and wrens.

## Nearby Attractions

The cabin is about 35 minutes from any general store. The town of Pomeroy has
a county museum, art gallery and antiques.
