North Fork Tieton to Tieton Pass — Saturday, Aug. 20, 2011

South Cascades > Goat Rocks

I Solo'ed this hike. I stopped by the Cowlitz ranger station in packwood to find out about this hike. They told me there was a washout and there is a 2 mile walk to the TH. I drove to the Tieton River road and found that the road is not closed at the bridge but at where the road turns to go around Clear lake. Being the sucker I am I said I can walk it. It was a SLOG of 4.5 miles to the trail head... So be warned. The trail #1118 is in very good shape with peek-a-boo glimps of the towering goat rocks mountains. By the time I got to the pass I was pooped. I took a few shots and headed back. By the time I got back to the car 18 miles round trip I was dragging butt. But for a good endurance hike this is it. I will try and add photos tomorrow.
