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.
Here's a map of Okanogan Valley stretching
to the Wenatchee Valley.
A black dot shows the location of each picture
