4TH OF JULY MOUNTAIN LENGTH 2.5 MILES Arguably the best day hike in the lower Lake Chelan Basin, Fourth of July Mountain is an easy drive from downtown Chelan. The elevation gain is steady but never extreme, with summit views that are spectacular. Drive: Approximately 30 minutes from Chelan. How to get there: Drive to Antilon Lake north of Manson. Park alongside the road near the large earthen dam at the south end of Antilon Lake. Walk across the top of the dam. The trail begins on the west side and angles up the hill. ELEPHANT HEAD LENGTH 4 MILES Climbing almost 1,200 feet in two miles, Elephant Head is a Lake Chelan Valley must. The majority of the gain occurs within the first mile and is perfect for sunrise hikes. Drive: Approximately 5 minutes from Chelan. How to get there: From downtown Chelan, drive east on 97A, across the Dan Gordon Bridge. Take a left onto Farnham Street, follow the road as it turns into S. Sanders St., and then E. Iowa St. You will find the trailhead on your right.
