Trails Hiked

I didn’t actually do this hike but saw on the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest  twitter 5/12/21: “ALERT-The bridge on Icicle Creek Trail #1551, 1½ miles from the trailhead, was damaged and is not safe to use. This trail accesses the French Creek area of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. Trails #1551 and #1595 are impacted. For more info call Wenatchee River R.D. 509-548-2550.”

Did you find this trip report helpful?

Thanks for this, what a bummer. I went on a short day hike on this trail last year and was looking forward to going on an early season backpacking trip here this year. Oh well, good to know.

Wow mega thanks for the update. I have a friend coming in on the 26th and we were planning on the cradle loop from the 27th-2nd and would have not been pleased to discover that. Looks like we will have to enter and exit on the Jack Creek trail.
