Transportation

Public Transportation & Shuttles

Wenatchee is fortunate to have cutting edge technology in our transit system. Link Transit touts 37 zero-emission electric buses in their fleet as of 2024 and with more federal funding, they will continue to transition their fleet over to electric vehicles.

 

Riding a Link Transit bus, including fixed routes, express routes, paratransit and Dart buses, is fare free, so it is a great choice for economic as well as environmental reasons.

Trailhead Shuttles

There are two shuttle services that provide transportation to the Enchantments trailhead for hikers, backpackers and trail runners. They are the Loop Connector and the Enchantments Shuttle.
