Clear Fork Trail — Friday, Jun. 15, 2018

A joint WTA/BCHW work party logged out the Clear Fork Trail, # 61, Cowlitz Ranger District, South Cascades on June 15-17.  The trail is clear of all deadfall to Tieton Pass.  However, the trail is washed out about 1 mile short of Tieton Pass and is impassible to stock at this point.  The trail is not over grown with brush.  Coyote Creek is a ford and is flagged for stock.  Chimney Creek is also a ford and not running high.  Cowlitz Crossing is a ford or a rather small diameter footlog.  Cowlitz Crossing has a trail cleared on both sides of the river.  Camps are available at the old Skeeter Shelter site at the junction of the Clear Lost trail #76, Coyote Creek crossing, and Cowlitz crossing.
