Review & FAQ:

Listed on the National Historical Register, Penstock Trail was a huge water pipe that delivered water from the raging Wenatchee River to a powerhouse for electricity-powered engines that replaced coal-fire engines to pull trains.

Visitors can now hike up the trail to experience one of Washington's finest environments, viewing not only the Wenatchee River, but Tumwater Canyon as well. The trail is fairly easy even for new hikers and it should take around one hour to cover the two-mile round trip distance.
