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.

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. Mount Hood National Forest

From this point forward, if you have an update, please post it in the wiki. Feel free to bump the thread after updating the wiki or if you have a question, but all replies will be subject to future deletion.

[Sabahsboy]

what is "wiki"? Hmmm...I am getting way out-of-date on terms and where to find info.

[Tom]

The wiki is the summay post at the very top of the page. Anyone can edit that post. ALL road updates MUST go there or this thread will lose its usefulness if the wiki is not up to date and folks have to wade thru this thread to get the latest info.

[Dayhike Mike]

Just an aside -- really nice work on this thread, guys. Great piece of collaboration!

[Seracer]

Not so much a closure but limited access on Lake Chelan right now. I was planning on doing the Lakeshore Trail next week as May 1 is the typical starting date for getting off at Prince Creek. Due to slower than usual snowmelt and runnoff, the lake level is too low to allow the boat to dock there. So until things warm and the water level rises, there is no Lady of the Lake access to Prince Creek or other spots along the shore. Lucerne and Stehekin are accessable, but not Prince Creek.

Olympic National Forest Closes Roads Work on two road projects will close major access routes on the Pacific Ranger District of the Olympic National Forest starting this month. Repairs will close Donkey Creek Road (Forest Service Road 22) at milepost 12.2 July 15-Aug. 16 and Forest Service Road 23 at milepost 22.2 July 18-Aug. 16. Both roads lead to the Wynoochee Recreation Area, which can be accessed out of Montesano, Wash., during the closure. For more information contact the Olympic National Forest at 360-765-2200 or 360-288-2525. Learn more about the Olympic National Forest at http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/olympic --- Tried to update the Wiki as best I could but you all might need to adjust it. I have no idea if FS23 and FS22 are both considered Donkey Creek Road. *shrug*

Updated for Harts Pass periodic closures next week (week of July 11). I'll delete this email after next week, I promise.

[Elvis]

Rd to Cascade Pass is open per NCNP.

[onemoremile]

Deer Park Road (Olympics) is now open.

[tigermn]

Road to Mowich Lake opened today (07/22/2011). Still a lot of snow up there so be prepared for that if you drive up (no issues on the road/drive which looks freshly graded and pot hole free for now).

[Quark]

If you posted conditions on roads, please update if you have an update. I removed some obvious notes (mainly stuff like "snow melted at Barlow Pass") but maybe this can be cleaned up if anyone has time & knowledge...?

Hey all I just talked to the darrington ranger station and they said the law suit has been dismist and they are now just waiting for funding.they told me that the road was open to huckelberry mountain.not sure how long that will take but i do love the area at buck creek and downey creek. I have made the hike 2 times when the road was closed at the 12 mile marker.I'm not sure what can be be done to come up with the funds but i'm sure what funds were there was spent on court cost. I'm not sure how farit is from huckelberry mountain to downey.I just know it is a way.

Updated the Wiki, but for those of interest, North Fork Snoqualmie Road (FS 57) will be closed below the Spur 10 gate for 3 weeks starting 8/22/2011--Reason is the County is repairing the area that washed out around McLeod Lake last year. Not sure where this leaves Hancock Forest Rec Permittees. Good news, should be shorter than the Wagner Bridge closure....
