South Cascades > Mount St. Helens

Backcountry Horsemen of Washington - Lewis County Chapter cleared Green River Trail #213 from WEYCO RD 2500 (private property)trailhead to the Green River Horse Camp. WEYCO RD 2500 is regulated by the logging company - check for open weekend dates. Their regulations are no campfires or camping on their private property plus the gates are only open from dawn to dusk. Green River Trail #213 from the WEYCO RD 2500 trailhead to the horse camp is an eleven mile trail along the river through old growth timber, rain forest conditions and a silver forest - blast zone from the Mt. St. Helens eruption. The Green River Trail #213 from FS RD 26 above Ryan Lake to Strawberry Mountain Trail #220 (a 1895 mining trail) was heavily damaged by winter conditions. Snow levels at 4700 feet elevation will delay repair of this segment of the trail.
