Peoh Point is a 3.5-mile round-trip walk to a clifftop viewpoint above Cle Elum with 180-degree views of the Cle Elum Valley and the Stuart Range. It’s close to town, mostly level, and no pass is needed.
Quick facts
- Distance: 3.5 miles round trip
- Elevation gain: minimal (WTA lists 50 feet)
- Pass: None
- Dogs: Allowed on leash, but watch the cliff edge
- Road: last stretch is narrow dirt with potholes, high clearance suggested
Why go
From the top you can see the Cle Elum Valley, the Stuart Range, I-90, Snoqualmie Pass, Cle Elum Lake and the towns below. There’s a small outcropping east of the summit, away from the cell towers, that makes a good lunch spot.
It’s a big drop-off, about 2,000 feet, so keep kids and dogs close.
Our take: Big views for not much effort. Great for all skill levels.
Getting there
From South Cle Elum, take Westside Road and follow the signed paved road toward Peoh Point, then turn onto Forest Road 3350. Park at the five-way intersection about two miles short of the lookout and walk from there.
Before you go
- No pass needed.
- Keep kids and dogs away from the cliff edge.
