Little Chumstick

Northern Route

• Take Highway 2 east over Stevens Pass to the junction with Highway 207 at "Cole's Corner" (a few miles past the Rest Area).
• Drive north on Highway 207 (towards Lake Wenatchee) to the junction with Highway 209 (about 4 miles).
• Head east on Highway 209 to Plain (about 5 miles).
• Stay on Highway 209 as it takes a sharp left (east) up the hill just past the general store in Plain.
• Follow Highway 209 (also called the Chumstick Highway) up the steep switchback turns and over the crest of the hill into the next valley.
• As you come down into the valley the road heads northwest and then curves to the right in a broad hairpin turn on the flat.
• Turn left (north) at the bend in the hairpin onto Little Chumstick Creek Road (gravel, about 2½ miles from the general store).

Southern Route

• Take I-90 east over Snoqualmie Pass to Exit 85 just east of Cle Elum, signed Highway 970 "To Wenatchee". (Optional: Head west into Cle Elum and answer the 'call of nature' at the nice clean 76 station at the east end of town.)
• Head east on 970 to the junction with Highway 97 (about 10 miles)
• Continue to follow the main road north (now Highway 97) over Blewett Pass until it ends at Highway 2 (about 35 miles)
• Turn left (west) and head toward Leavenworth on Highway 2.
• After you cross the Wenatchee River, turn north at the first traffic light onto Highway 209  signed "To Plain" (about 4.5 miles from 97 junction).
• Follow Highway 209 (also called the Chumstick Highway) north 11.1 miles to a broad hairpin turn.
• Turn right (north) at the start of the hairpin onto Little Chumstick Creek Road (gravel and actually you keep going straight as the main road curves to the left).

The Home Stretch

• Drive north on Little Chumstick Creek Road.
• Our driveway is the third on the left and has a nice green "Peltonen" sign (0.8 miles from Highway 209).
• If you pass the white sign on the left marked "Private property for next .7 miles" you have gone about 20 yards too far.
