Following a protracted legal battle to extend the eastside Loop Trail five miles north to Lincoln Rock State Park, The Wenatchee World editorializes, "We should have stopped talking a dozen years ago. The trail will be a supremely logical extension of one of the most successful and valued trail systems in the state, or for that matter, anywhere. It would be built for public use on public land, for the betterment of the entire community." Eventually, the courts would clear the way for the extension, known as Rocky Reach Trail.
