CHECKING IN

I am looking to go to Manastash late Aug early Sep. Tossing this up early to see who would be interested in going. More than likely an overnighter.

Have any of y’all driven high into the Cascades? Interested in driving into a spot to camp at a good overlook. Is this even possible?

Yes, you will need a discovery pass. I know a few places but, give me a better idea of what you are looking for

Anything like this, I’m sure it’s all forestry roads, right?

There are a few places like this off the I-90 corridor starting at Lost Lake and going west to Exit 38. There are also places a bit further out near Fortune Creek (see my other post).

There are forest roads as well as trails, if you give me a little more information such as:
1. Do you want to take your vehicle off road?
2. Do you want to shoot guns?
3. Do you want to be water?
4. Is cell phone coverage needed?

I can pin point a few locations. Also, take a look at the other Washington threads in this forum, if you see one of the locations that are pictured I can get you directions and bit more information.

Went back up the Middle Fork Snoqualmie yesterday... Drove to the gate at the end of the unimproved road... A few Subaru's and a few Nissan crossovers made it up there without incident. The road isn't really bad, just some large rocks, a few big puddles, and a few washouts. I would guess the drive was the more comfortable ride.


Parked near old growth stump.

Waterfall just after the gate at the end of the road.

Here is a video from the above route... Middle Fork Snoqualmie River, unimproved section above campground. It's the same place I made the video back in January... Not much change both drives without snow. This is the large washout with the bypass of the small hill. Right around milepost 13. Some large puddles, not deep, potholes, a few washouts and one small creek about a meter wide washing across road. Did a couple circles around the washout, the bumps and ruts are deeper/bigger than they appear due to the stabilizer on the camera. Note the movement of the front of the truck.
