Accessibility
Wheelchair friendly Whether a trail is wheelchair-friendly depends on a variety of factors, including trail width, grade, cross-slope, what materials the trail is made of, and whether land managers have designated it accessible. This designation is made when trails are under optimal maintenance conditions, so seasonal changes or deferred maintenance may change how wheelchair-friendly a trail is. Indicating a trail is wheelchair-friendly does not mean it meets ADA standards.

Heading right up the nose of the ridge it’s named after, Polallie will give you a workout. It’s steep, it’s rocky, and there are very few views. Head all the way to Diamond Lake for an overnight, go further into the Alpine Lakes wilderness, or call it quits whenever your glutes have had enough.

Far-off views of the Napeequa River are coveted among Cascade hikers, and rightly so. Actually reaching and hiking the Napeequa River Trail is, for most, a multi-day adventure in a remote corner of the Glacier Peak Wilderness that will leave memories of deep glacier-scoured walls, musical waterways, and meadows abuzz with life.
