Editing Cashmere, Washington (section)

==Recreation==
Cashmere is surrounded by the eastern foothills of the [[Cascade Mountains]]. The [[Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area]] is about 10 miles to the West. The [[Peshastin Pinnacles]] is a historical climbing area located a few miles from town. Some of America's first technical climbing routes were established here by [[Fred Beckey]] and others. The [[Devil's Gulch]] mountain bike trail is said to be the premier downhill ride in the state of Washington, and is located just south of town. This ride attracts thousands of mountain bikers from [[Seattle]] and elsewhere each year. The Wenatchee river is a popular whitewater destination and runs right through Cashmere. The river provides challenging rapids for rafters and kayakers each spring during runoff, including those occurring in the stretch of river that runs through town.
