Naches Trail — Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025

3 cars at the Greenwater trailhead made us choose this trail and a need for solitude. This historic trail is very steep from the beginning and all the way up to Road 70. No obstacles but several freshly cut trees were spotted. An amazing icicle wall was one of the rewards. The steep trail was perfect condition  - no ice or mud. different conditions would make it difficult due to the steep nature. Once we reached Rd 70 and in need of sun we opted for the road. Views and sun were our reward. Upon reaching the upper Pyramid creek snopark we took to an decommissioned road behind the pile of rocks. It was snow covered but easy to follow with 2 water sources. The sun and views continued until or lunch-turn around spot not far from the crossing of Meadow Creek. Winter is a great time to travel these decommissioned roads as most of the debris is easily navigated under a blanket of snow. Will go back this winter and finish the actual Naches Trail before the vehicles arrive! Saw no one all day.
