Location & Getting There

Mission Ridge stands 12 miles south of Wenatchee in central Washington, just under three hours from Seattle. The drive up Mission Ridge Road reveals dramatic shifts from shrub-steppe to alpine environment, showcasing the area's distinct ecosystem. This location east of the Cascade crest creates a microclimate of drier snow and clearer skies, while operating on Forest Service land within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest provides stunning natural surroundings. From the summit, skiers enjoy sweeping views of the Columbia River Valley and the Stuart Range.
