WTA's Lost Trails Found Pro Crew spent a week on the Entiat River Trail and up the Snowy Brushy trail from 6/8/2022 - 6/15/2022. Our main trail goal was to clear downed logs on the Snowy Brushy trail, which stems off of the main Entiat River Trail and follows Snowy Brushy creek up to Milham Pass. We made it 3.8 miles from the main Entiat River Trail up the Snowy Brushy trail. From the Entiat River Trailhead to the beginning of the Snowy Brushy trail, the trail is in good condition and is free of downed logs from a previous WTA Pro Crew Hitch. When we were there, there were 2 creek crossings across Snowy Brushy Creek and Anthem Creek that required us to exercise safe water crossing precautions.
Trail Conditions
- We were only able to clear 3.8 miles of the Snowy Brushy Trail because after that snow persisted and was consistent up to Milham Pass. We were able to trek across the snow fields to make it up to the pass in our off time, but exercise caution as there are many downed logs and snow fields.
- The trail itself up until then is still gorgeous offering views of a roaring creek and the valley itself.
- The turnoff from the Entiat River Trail can easily be missed, so be on the lookout.
Camping
- We camped at a meadow off the Entiat River Trail that's a couple hundred feet from the beginning of the Snowy Brushy Trail.
- Easy water access and nice open meadow with great views.
Flora & Fauna
- A couple weeks ago, but there were a ton of Glacier Lily blooming along with some Jeffrey Shooting star!
- Lots of curious and comfortable deer at our campsite.
