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. Cold Creek Road (9070) to Windy Pass and PCT 7-22-2022 Drove to Mt Catherine TH in Subaru Forester. Several sections of serious potholes. Two sections with parallel gullies along the length of the road. Once the fall rains start those gullies will collect water and I suspect serious road damage will result. Joey Tinkham (55), Garcia (9020) ? Middle Fork Snoqualmie Road (FS 56) Mailbox TH, Taylor River TH, Dingford Creek TH, Goldmyer Hot Springs 02/28/2022 Bessemer Creek at ~MP 10 washed out on January 20, 2022 but was still passable. But then on 02/28 another heavy rain and the self-rerouted creek finished the job. King County closed the road at the Pratt River Bar. The Goldmyer Access Report usually has updated road conditions. 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) (7.28.2021, Joey) Two bad spots washing out. We were very careful and did OK in a Subaru Forester. Low clearance might not make it. 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. 6/3/11 Cle Elum Trails - road closures - the following Roads on the Cle Elum Ranger District are CLOSED due to ROAD DAMAGE

• Taneum - Manastash Area

St. Helens Due to a fire there is no longer a shelter at Marble Mountain Sno-Park. 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." Olympic Peninsula Olympic National Park - see current road conditions. 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.

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.

Our Scout troop is going to 29 Pines this weekend. I assume the road there is fine, but would like confirmation. We've gone there in November before and its always worked, but Im trying to avoid a big surprise. Im sure the campground lane will be snowy, but probably Teanaway Road will be clear. I called DNR and such but they havent called me back. Anyone been out there lately?

[EeeZee]

Pretty bad washout on FR 57 in the North Fork just after you turn to head to the Bare Mountain TH/Lennox Creek. I was able to barely squeak by the deep ruts on the right, but then encountered a large tree across the road about 100yds after that.

[ALW Hiker]

Just curious - does anyone know if Tinkham Road (FS 55, between I-90 Exit 42 and Exit 47) is regularly plowed? We did a snowshoe from the McClellan Butte trailhead yesterday, and the road wasn't plowed in the morning, but it was in the afternoon when we returned. I don't know how far it was plowed beyond the M.B. road. Incidentally, the McClellan Butte trailhead road is driveable, but I'd say only with AWD/FWD and winter tires. It's pretty well packed in the tire ruts but 7-8" deep outside of that. We had no problems in our Subarus with snow tires.

From my research this winter I have discovered information about several road projects that either occured in late 2022 or are planned for 2023. Mount Rainier National Park --------------------- Steven Canyon Road has reconstruction continuing through 2023, there will be delays Monday-Thursday https://highways.fhwa.dot.gov/federal-lands/projects/wa/rehabilitate-stevens-canyon-road-mp-50-140 Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest --------------‐------ 2023 Mount Pilchuck Road Reconstruction: -4.83 miles of Road 42 will be regraded, asphalt patched, and road edges brushed. -several spur roads will also be maintained https://sam.gov/opp/3ea73824aa204e9f80dd6db0a3970c04/view Middle Fork Nooksack Road Reconstruction: -6 miles will be brushed and graded Wells Creek Road to 3310 junction Reconstruction: -The first 4.32 miles will be brushed and graded to the 3310 junction. - the 3310 will be brushed and graded. West Church Road -Road 3120 will be brushed and graded to the 3124 junction -1 mile of the 3124 rd will be brushed and graded Whistler Creek Road (Church Lake) - the first mile of 3160 will be brushed and graded https://sam.gov/opp/3ea73824aa204e9f80dd6db0a3970c04/view Gifford Pinchot National Forest ---------------------------- 2023 Road 63 Landslide Repair - the large landslide North of Randle on Road 63 will be repaired. - This gives alternative access to Silver Creek Road 47 instead of using Skate Creek Road. https://sam.gov/opp/743b4bacbd53430880043747508a539b/view

Here is a quick map I made of the closures on the Whitechuck Road and Straight Creek Road. I was thinking about hiking Meadow Mountain this summer until I saw a WTA report that earlier this month the Whitechuck Road had a 15 foot section slide into the river at milepost 4. From what I have read it sounds like Straight Creek Road will not be passable beyond Rat Trap Falls without an OHV or bike.

I have also made a map of some closures on Deer Creek and Coal Creek Roads as of Fall 2022.

The other flood closures on the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie that I know of are: -Glacier Creek Road to Heliotrope Trailhead -Deadhorse Creek Road to Skyline Divide -South Fork Nooksack before Blue Lake turn As far as I know those have no funding for repair or reopening in 2023. Likely Fire Closures: -Suiattle Road (Likely all of 2023 due to 2022 fire) -Tenas Creek (Likely all of 2023 due to 2022 fire) -Barclay Creek (Likely all of 2023 due to 2022 fire)

I did see mention that the Miller River Washout might be repaired in 2023 but am unsure how certain that is.

Last time I talked to the USFS about Miller river a year ago they said it would be a couple years before the bridge washout would be fixed.
