Basic Hiking class aimed at getting people outdoors

“It’s close to town, relatively short. You gain elevation quickly so it’s good exercise and offers great views,” said Grace Peven, sizing up the Saddle Rock climb on the Jacobson Preserve Trail. Peven, a 2012 Wenatchee High School graduate who is working for Wenatchee Outdoors before heading to Western Washington University this fall, was leading the 3.5-mile round trip hike as an introduction for folks who haven’t been out on local trails much.
