Iron Peak via Tooth Saddle Trail

Getting There

Take Exit 85 (East Cle Elum) off of I-90, going north over the freeway. Take a right to get onto SR-970 east, which also takes you to US-97. Follow SR-970 to the left when it splits with SR-10. Cross the Teanaway River bridge, and in another mile turn left onto Teanaway Road. Drive north on Teanaway Road, veering right as it becomes first North Fork Teanaway Road and then unpaved Forest Road 9737 at 29 Pines Campground.

Continue north for just under four miles and immediately before the Beverly Creek bridge and turn right (east) onto FR 9737-112, signed for Beverly Creek. Drive approximately 1.4 miles down a much bumpier, rocky, and overgrown one-lane unpaved road to its end at the trailhead and its parking lot. The parking lot has space for at least 15 vehicles.

While the drive to Bean Creek Basin is long and relatively easy, the last 1.4 miles on Forest Road 9737-112 is a rocky, and potholed one-lane road that sedans and smaller cars may find difficult to navigate.
