Washington's Lake Chelan

How to get here from the west
(e.g. Seattle)

Follow I-90 (eastbound) to exit 106 (about 106 miles).
Follow US-97 (northbound) and follow it north to US-2.
Turn right and continue on US-97 to the split (to the left) of US-97-Alt just before you cross the Columbia River bridge into Wenatchee. (This is the community of Sunnyslope.)
Turn left on US-97-A, which runs up the west bank of the Columbia River, and drive to Entiat.

To view Silver Falls

To view Silver Falls, you need to make a left onto Entiat River Road (about 17 miles from where you left US-97 in Sunnyslope) and follow this forest road 30+ miles to some campground (look for Silver Falls sign). This is a 60+ mile round trip - plus a hefty climb once you get there. Yes, though we were warned by Bryan Swan's description, those 385 stone steps are exhausting. And you have to be very careful coming down those steps because, I am sure, tripping could be very easy and hazardous. There are many other, more convenient, waterfalls in Washington. But Silver Falls is absolutely beautiful, just as promised.

Continuing on to Chelan

Continue northbound on 97-A toward Chelan.
Where US-97-Alt bends to the left leaving the Columbia River you will climb over a pass and then descend to Lake Chelan. The highway then turns to the right to follow the lake shore. A little over 2 miles from here is the Best Western Lakeside Lodge (and Suites - can't forget that if you are traveling with children).
