Hiking Naneum Meadows

The Naneum Meadows Trail is one of several trails in Blewett Pass that offer wildflowers, mountain views and larches in the fall. It begins at Forest Road 3500 and connects to the at Naneum-Wilson Trail. Just a bit past Naneum-Wilson, you connect with Naneum Creek and Howard Creek, where you can begin to create loops and thru-hikes.

From the pullout on the Table Mountain Road, descend along a plateau and then more steeply to Owl Creek. Past the Owl Creek Crossing, the trail plateaus again before connecting to Naneum Wilson. Another switchback and a steep descent to a crossing of Naneum Creek, and you'll be at a T-intersection.

A left turn puts you on the Naneum Creek Trail; a right puts you on the Howard Creek trail. Adventure awaits you beyond here, but you'll need to plan ahead and having your navigation materials with you. Note also that this area burned in 2012 during the Table Mountain Fire. Trees are sparse and the wind is strong in this area.
