Well, like an idiot I did not save my original post from "over there", so here we go again:
When:
October 8th 2011
Where:
Naches Pass Trail in Washington. It starts about 18 miles east of Enumclaw, crosses the Cascades, and comes out just NW of Yakima, and reaches an elevation of 4928 feet. We will run from west to east.
Trail details:
This trail is rated mostly easy with a few difficult to more difficult spots. If it is rainy and wet, obviously the rating will go up accordingly. It does have some tight spots and very steep hills, but I know of a few H1s that say they have done it, so we should fit. I have heard everything from 3 hours to all day for time to run the trail, so we will plan for a very full day. If weather permits we can take a short walk from the trail to see the cliffs. (see history below) At the top is Government Meadows, where there is a cabin that can be used for camping. It also is a short walk from the trail. If we come out the other side early, there are two places, Moon Rocks and Funny Rocks, that should be fun to play in. There is also no end of Forest Service roads to explore. If the trail gets to be too much for anyone, or too long, there are many jump off points onto Forest Service roads along the way.
Meet point:
Greenwater General Store
58120 Wa-410 E
Enumclaw WA 98022
360-663-2357
This is the last stop for gas, snacks, etc. We will meet here at 9:00 AM, with a departure time of no later than 10:00 AM. I have a feeling cell phones wont work well out there, so if you are running late try to get ahold of someone early to avoid being left behind.
Requirements:
A NW Forest Pass is required. A day pass is $5, or an annual pass is $30. They can be purchased from the Forest Service online, or they can also be purchased at the Greenwater General Store.
Recommendations:
Bring any recovery gear you have. Jacks, straps, etc. I will have a chain saw. I would bring some food and water, and maybe even some emergency camping gear just in case. We will be a long way from anywhere, so be prepared! First aid kits, fire starter stuff, extra clothes, would all be wise.
Communication:
CB channel 15
End of day dinner:
Gold Creek Restaurant
18431 SR-410
Naches WA 98937
509-658-2503
Misc. info:
Let me know if you are a "for sure" or a "maybe" and I will keep a roster here. When you are a "for sure," if you send me your name and number I will make a contact list for everyone so we can stay in touch if we need to.
