Sad. This used to be one of my fave hikes.
The road is closed due to bridge being washed out 6 miles from TrailHead. So, if you walk up the dirt road ( 6 mile slog) to trail head, then start on the trail...it is overgrown, trees down, overall terrible shape. Not worth it. Go to Railroad Grade instead.
WE pay money for our passes each year. Where does it go? So many roads are in terrible shape now. So disappointing.

Road maintenance is not part of the Northwest Forest Pass fee program, so while your pass money supports many maintenance needs it doesn't help with road access.
