To the west and south, across the Wenatchee River and tributaries such as the Chiwawa River are the Wenatchee Mountains. The Entiat Mountains stretch south to the Columbia River between the mouths of the Entiat and Wenatchee Rivers. The northern end the Entiat Range merges with the northern end of the Chelan Mountains.
