Trails Hiked

Olympic National Forest officials will close the Lake Cushman Road (F.S. Rd # 24)to all public access from Nov 1 to April 1 as a precaution to protect the public from expected rock and debris slides over the winter. The increased risk is a consequence of the 2006 Bear Gulch II fire which burned the steep slopes immediately above the road. Mount Rose Trail # 814, Dry Creek Trail # 872, Copper Creek Trail # 876 and all Staircase area trails will be closed during this period.

Comments

this information is rather old and as of now (4/25/2012) the road to Staircase is open. I think you would have to walk to Copper Creek trail as the causeway may be under repair. In any case, call the ranger station at Staircase for additional information.
