The Manastash Ridge Trail is a 5.8 km hike in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. This hike is moderately difficult. While it’s not that long, it’s a bit of a stair stepper. The elevation gain is consistent and solid the entire way to the top of the ridge. Expect heavy traffic on this route.

Route Description for Manastash Ridge Trail

Manastash Ridge Trail is a great hike if you’re short on time but still want to get a solid workout in. It’s a consistent trip up with no breaks from the incline, but that being said, it’s still a moderate hike overall. This hike can get busy, so try coming early in the morning if you want a quieter trail.

Begin from the trailhead. You’ll hug the creek for a stretch, going straight through a series of connecting spur trails. Pulling away from the creek, the trail marches uphill and doesn’t stop until you’re atop the ridge. You can retrace your steps down, but a glance at the map will show lots of intersecting trails that can be used to make a longer adventure if you please.
