Went to the trail to find the parking lot closed to cars and groomed for snowmobiles. The only way to access it is from the snow park over a mile down the road, and there's nowhere to buy a permit at the site or in town, so plan ahead! A helpful community shop told us the closest place to buy them was Cle Elum - I think they're available online as well. Some cars were parking on the road, but we saw a deputy handing out tickets. We asked and were told you can only park there with winter rec permits - looks like they're meant for snowmobiles.
Rather than spend the rest of our day driving around to find a permit, we opted to just find another trail close by.
