How Do You Hike on Mount-Baker Snoqualmie Lands?

Don't miss the last Mount Baker-Snoqualmie (MBS) National Forest public meeting to help shape the future of the roads system on the MBS. The meeting, the last in a series, will be held at 5 pm on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Everett Community College.

Make your hiking preferences a part of the process

The forest is hosting a process to help the public provide feedback about how it manages public access to trails while balancing preserving the environment and stewarding scarce public funds.

This Sustainable Roads Analysis is your chance to provide feedback on where you recreate on National Forests and how you get there. Mount Baker-Snoqualmie staff and local recreation and conservation leaders will be on hand to answer your questions and provide their insights.

Why is access in the MBS so important?

Those of us who enjoy hikes from the 1-90 corridor to the Mountain Loop Highway will be affected by decisions that come out of this process. See the maps of the trails that could be affected.

The public's input will help the Sustainable Roads Cadre (an alliance of more than 20 organizations that Washington Trails Association and The Wilderness Society helped spearhead) make decisions that will manage public access to trails while balancing preserving the environment and allocating scarce public funds. This is your chance to provide feedback on where you recreate on National Forests and how you get there.
