Naches Trail — Saturday, Feb. 24, 2024

Since I couldn’t find a trip report for the Naches Trail, I decided to go there and write one!  This unmaintained trail is easily accessible from the Greenwater Lakes trailhead off FR 70.  NW Forest Pass is all you need, even in winter.  Motorized vehicles are not allowed in winter.  The trail was very steep in many places.  Blowdowns are plentiful but passable.  We headed east from the parking lot at the trailhead.  No snow on trail. We eventually crossed FR70.  Later we crossed FR 7065.  After that point the trail widens and becomes passable for ORVs.  We then started crossing small patches of snow and ice.  We had a time limit, so only got about 1/2 way to Government Meadows.  The snow was becoming more constant, so that was our turn around point. This was a fun choice for an adventure.  There were no other people on the trail!
