Naches july 22-24

redneck_hippy · Jul 20, 2011

Headed down this weekend with a group of people. What are the trail conditions?
Is the discovery pass or any other pass required now? I didn't see Naches on the discovery pass on the map.

Discover pass is state, Naches is federal run, so you need a pass from the USFS if it's posted. I was over there camping this past weekend and it's pretty dry but you may run into snow higher up,

Picture a stockish wrangler and 2 stockish cherokees flailing around on a little bit of snow and downed trees on the naches trail. Then saying that some new bypasses are needed because there are big trees down in the trail and its too hard.

Last night at the PNW meeting we were told that due to snow conditions the Naches Trail is still closed. Yes, I know that the sign says July 15th.

Sounds like the Enumclaw FS is telling people it's open.

don't know but this is all the sign said...

Alan spoke directly with the FS and was told it is in fact open...

Not sure where the PNW got their info... If you're concerned, just pick up a phone and call...

Bob Pacific said it is open.

X2 I was there at the meeting sitting next to Corey when he said it. He said there is still some snow on the trail, but it is open.

From Bob as of yesterday.

Hey JIm. I was going with the normal opening of July 15th since there has been lots of traffic irregardless of conditions. I looked on July 13th and there was still 4' of snow on the trail at the junction below the PCT on the west side. I am going up to check today for a scout project at the PCT/Naches junction next Monday. Bob
