Hiking Deadwood Lakes

This un-maintained trail can be accessed from the Pacific Crest Trail. Keep your eyes and ears open for the elk that live in the area. In the fall, blue gentian and berries can be found along the over-grown trail.

The trail can be difficult to follow, so be sure to take appropriate precautions. It is usually snow-free between mid-July and mid-October, but check the current weather conditions before you go.

From Enumclaw, drive east on SR 410 for about 50 miles to Chinook Pass. Continue about 0.2 miles to Pacific Crest Trail parking lot, which is the second large parking lot on the left side of the road. The trailhead is on the east end of the parking lot behind the vault toilets.
