North Fork Tieton to Tieton Pass — Saturday, May. 25, 2002

South Cascades > Goat Rocks

This report is for the North Fork Tieton, May 26, 2002. My hiking party and I started from the trailhead at the end of road 1207, and quickly ran into many downed trees covering the trail. At close to 3 miles in, the snow on the ground became heavy and difficult to walk in. We turned around at the incline to Tieton Pass because of the snow and because the trail was hard to follow. Simply put, this trail (and, it appears, others near it, such as 1128 on the Green Trails map for the area) is in need of maintenance. * Further note -- for those using the Pacific Northwest Hiking book for directions to this trail, please note this mistake -- replace ""east"" with ""west"" regarding orientation to Clear Lake.
