Jim,

I am planning on coming up with my son on Saturday morning. We will be coming over from Bothell and I am good to go for either the "east" side or the "west" side.

Problem is that I have never entered the trail from the RD 70 side (RD 7065). I know that the turn off is like a mile or so past Greenwater...right?

What time do they need people on the west side party? What would you recommend? East or West, etc.

We will be towing our Scout over.

To get there (west side) turn left off of 410 onto the fs70 just past the green water fire station. The road is paved all the way to the pyramid parking lot. I suggest parking there if your rig is "legal" the wp crew will be at the gravel pit just as the road makes a left onto 7080. Should be some signs out. Starting on both is 9 am.the west side could probably use a fewore people as it was added to the plan late. :awesomework:

Thanks Jim.

Looks like I will probably stay on the west side since it sounds like they could use additional folks. Plus it will give me an excuse to explore that side of the area. I have always just bombed past that turn off and area and drove all the way to the east.

Besides the basics, are there any tools that you guys need up there?

pokey · May 28, 2015

Small sledges for spikes are always handy.
