Mount Rainier

Corral Pass (FS 7174) ?

Chinook Pass (SR 410) website

Mowich Lake Road (SR 165) Mowich Lake, Spray Park, Echo/Observation Rock

Snow free to the Paul Peak trailhead gate, snow-covered the rest of the way to Mowich.  Limited parking at the trailhead due to snow and deep wheel ruts. (4-5-2014)

Stevens Canyon Road per MRNP website and Road signs:
Grand Park back door (06/19/2014) - 73 Huckleberry Creek is OPEN Watch for logging trucks. Will be CLOSED JULY 2 from 6 am - 5 pm

I-90

Talapus (9030), Mason Lake (9031)?
As of late November 20, 2015 Road 9030 off I-90 to Ira Spring trailhead (Mason Lake) has a partially downed tree which your vehicle will probably fit under just after the beginning of the unpaved section. 9030 was partially blocked by a downed tree just beyond the junction with road 9031 but someone drove past it. Road 9031 (Talapus Lake TH) has been cleared to trailhead - thanks to the man in black who did the work manually with an Axe! Any further updates appreciated.

Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road (FS 56) Mailbox TH, Taylor River TH, Dingford Creek TH, Goldmyer Hot Springs

• Paving is complete to the Taylor River bridge as of October, 2017.
  
• The Taylor River trailhead spur road was repaired in the fall of 2019 so the last quarter mile section to the 2nd Taylor River bridge is open again after being closed for 4 years.
  
• 11/01/2019 Road is open to the gate at Dingford Creek trailhead with many potholes along the way. The Middle Fork road from Taylor bridge to Dingford has numerous large and deep potholes, several small and two significant stream crossing dips. All are passable by vehicles with good clearance (~8").  The Goldmyer Facebook page often has updated conditions for snow levels in winter.
  

 
North Fork Snoqualmie Road (FS 57) Bare, Dog, Goat, Phelps, ...
10/01/2014 A $75 permit is required to access Hancock Timber lands along the North Fork road. The road is public and you can drive through Hancock lands to reach FS areas for free, but you can't park and climb Fuller or visit other attractions on their land without the permit. There was active logging on the North Fork in 2014 so the road has been graded and was in better shape than usual most of the summer.
05/01/2016 The USFS has blocked the road at the junction of the road heading up Lennox Creek. This adds about 3 miles of road walking to get to the Bare Mountain trailhead or other destinations up Lennox Creek

Rocky Run (FS 4832) (no date?)
Construction along I-90 has a stretch just past the Rocky Run bridge extra bumpy but passable to sedans.  The spur (136 per Google Maps) to the backdoor TH is extra brushy but save for a nasty water channel right at the beginning and some moderate rutting about halfway in is still more or less drivable.  Extra clearance would be good, don't take a car you don't want to add pinstripes to.

Teanaway

North Fork Teanaway road (9737) (5.3.2014, Opus) Driveable to nearly 4.5 miles past end of pavement, just beyond Johnson Medra trailhead.  Potholes in the first 2 miles, better road after.

Teanaway Middle Fork (NFD 113)

Jack Creek Road (9738) Snow-free to 4,400ft (5/12/2018)

Stafford Creek Road 9703 (5.17.2014, Opus) Snow free to the Miller Creek trailhead at the end.  Rough in places.

Beverly turnpike road (1391) (5.3.2014, Opus) Appeared snow free from main road

Jungle Creek (FS 9701) Teanaway Butte, Way Creek trail, Jungle Creek trail

6/19/11 (still true?) There is a "Road Closed" barrier 1.5 miles from the Twenty Nine Pines turn off. The problem is a partially washed out culvert but the road is still passable to a high clearance vehicle and in good condition from there all the way to Liar's Prairie.

6/12/16 There is a "Road Closed" sign at the beginning of the road. If there was a wash-out at 1.5mi, it has been repaired. Would need a high clearance vehicle with AWD to continue past the bumps and mud puddles at 1.7 miles.

• Taneum - Manastash Area

• Swauk and Liberty FSR 9707 - Pole Patch Road - two areas - First near spur 115, the second is near 4WD319.
  
• Red Top Road FSR 9702 5/18/12 Reported to be open but a large truck was stuck in the snow in the middle of the road.  The road is rough with patchy snow about a mile after the junction with FSR 9738

Forest Road 10 2012. Closed. Mitchell Peak north access - from DNR: "While the forestland is managed by DNR, the only access road to the trailhead—10 Road—cuts across private landownership, and the new landowner has gated and closed access to the road just east of the intersection with the S-1000 Road. DNR does not have a recreation easement for recreation access across this road. DNR land managers are working on a solution.In the meantime, the only access to Mitchell Peak trail is from the North Siouxon Creek Trailhead, in the southern part of the Siouxon Block. The distance from this trailhead to the top of Mitchell Peak is about 13 miles."

Mount Baldy, Maynard Burn, Tyler Peak - FS 2870/120, ?

Mount Ellinor, FR 24 and 2419

07-01-11From the T-intersection near Lake Cushman to the intersection with FR 2419 that heads up to the Mount Ellinor THs, FR 24 has many, deep potholes that are difficult to avoid.  Some deep potholes on FR 2419.

Mount Jupiter Road

05-20-11  Gate not far uphill from the powerline road was open on 05-20-11 and was able to drive all the way to the TH.  Road is very rough with lots of 2-3 inch diameter sharp basalt. HOWEVER, the road is supposed to be closed, as I found out from people who had walked up to the TH.  When I went by the gate there was no sign barring access, but upon exiting I found that someone had turned the sign around so the warning against access was not visible.  Active logging is being done on the north side of Jupiter Ridge, and if you drive in when the gate is open, you risk being stuck inside behind a locked gate when the loggers leave for the day, or, maybe worse, meeting a logging truck on the road

Yakima County/ Naches Ranger District
S. Fork Tieton Road 1000
4/13/17 - Closed due to flood damage.  Closed at intersection of 1050 road, washout is at Mile Post 11, approximately 1 miles before Conrad Meadows. Date of washout to be fixed is by Nov 1 2018 according to the district ranger.  2019 update: FIXED and open.

wildcat 1306 road is closed ~.5 miles below lightning lake as of fall 2013. Repair work expected to begin in 2020 according to a forest engineer.



McDaniel Lake/Buck Lake Road No. 1502 closed due to bridge wash-out approximately 1 mile past the junction with road 1500. This cuts off access to road 1509 and 130. The road is supposed to be fixed by Nov 1 2018.  This has been repaired and is now open.

1504 road Rattlesnake closed about 1.5 miles from 1500 road. Unknown estimated repair date. This washout cuts off access to the rattlesnake trailhead.

Icicle River Road is still gated and closed at Snow Creek trail parking lot due to COVID 19.  The Snow Creek trail and parking lot are also still closed as of today.  This week, there is excavation work being done on the parking lot (enlarging maybe?) so even if the Forest Service opens the road to the remainder of the canyon soon, this parking lot may be delayed until this work is finished.

[Downhill]

Today the gate at Snow Creek TH was opened and cars are now allowed up the Icicle River Road.  The Eightmile/Mountaineer Creek road (access to 8-Mile, Colchuck, and Stuart lake THs) is closed at the junction of the Icicle road.  Bridge Creek and 8-Mile campgrounds remain closed.  Snow Creek parking lot appears to be open and it looks like that trail and 4th of July trails are open, but check with the USFS to confirm.  I didn't travel upriver beyond 4th of July Creek, but I presume that all the other campgrounds (Ida, Chatter, Johnny, Rock Island...etc) are closed as well - check with the USFS

Thornton Creek Road is impassable to all but high clearance 4wd vehicles about 2.2 miles before the trailhead.  There's a stretch of some of the worst washboard potholing I've ever seen on one of the steep hill sections.  Four cars parked along the road at the bottom of it (including an Outback and a Cherokee).  I'd had no trouble in my sedan in the past, but it'll need severe grading to make it passable to all again.

Sibley Creek Road likewise has some really nasty pitting right where it meets the Cascade River Road and is in all likelihood impassable to lower clearance vehicles until it gets graded.

Olympic National Park News Release 

Culvert Installation for La Poel Creek on Highway 101 at Lake Crescent September 21 through October 31

Drivers should plan for delays for alternating single-lane traffic

PORT ANGELES, WA:  Starting the week of September 21, Strider Construction will set up traffic control devices and signage in preparation for the installation of a new culvert at La Poel Creek on Highway 101 at Lake Crescent. The culvert installation became necessary to protect the road after a winter storm in January 2020 caused La Poel Creek to occupy a new channel and flow over the highway. The work is scheduled to be completed by October 31.

Drivers should plan for delays for alternating single-lane traffic in the area of milepost 223.5 near the entrance to the La Poel Picnic Area. La Poel Picnic Area must close early this season due to the culvert installation.

Flaggers will control traffic in the work zone during work hours.  Traffic signals will be in place outside work hours and on weekends. In addition to the culvert installation, the project involves shoulder conditioning in the work zone as well as repaving and striping over the new culvert.

This project is being managed collaboratively by the Federal Highway Administration and the National Park Service.

For traffic information in real-time check the WSDOT Traffic Alert website at https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/trafficalerts/.
