The "Fruit
Capital of Western North America" stretches
from Canada's border to Oregon's border. The
Okanogan Valley in the north
(which starts as the Okanagan Valley in Canada) flows to
the Wenatchee Valley south of
it. Orchard fruits include pears,
peaches, nectarines, apples, cherries, and grapes; but
there also exists wildlife, fish and forestry to make this
area a very "fruitful" travel experience.
The Okanogan River, Entiat River,
and Wenatchee River all flow into the Columbia River providing
good transportation for fruits from this area. These
rivers are the lifeblood to little cities like
Pateros and Chelan
Falls that developed on the rivers' banks.
