  • Mt Rainier National Park to Near Morse Creek
    Corridor Sketch Summary Printed at: 4:13 PM 3/29/2018 WSDOT's Corridor Sketch Initiative is a collaborative planning process with agency partners to identify performance gaps and select high-level strategies to address them on the 304 corridors statewide. This Corridor Sketch Summary acts as an executive summary for one corridor. Please review the User Guide for Corridor Sketch Summaries prior to using information on this corridor: SR 410: Mt Rainier National Park to near Morse Creek (Season Closure Area) This 17-mile corridor runs between the Mount Rainier National Park boundary on the west side of the Cascade Mountains and Morse Creek, resembling a “V”. This route navigates mountainous terrain, winding its way through Mt Rainier National Park west of the Pacific Crest in the Cascade Mountains and just south of the access road to Crystal Mountain Resort, Washington’s largest ski resort. The character of the corridor is rural and consists entirely of heavily forested areas as it curves and ascends over steep grades. There are no incorporated communities located within the corridor. The corridor passes through Cayuse Pass, Chinook Pass, and the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest east of the Cascades offering scenic views in numerous locations with turnouts at many sites. The highway passes through a large avalanche chute with more scenic areas. A portion of the route parallels the Rainier Fork American and American rivers between Naches Peak and Morse Creek at the eastern terminus. This segment also crosses over multiple creeks that flow into multiple lakes and rivers throughout the area. Current Function State Route 410 is a 107-mile long state highway, partially named the Chinook Scenic Byway and the Stephen Mather Memorial Parkway, and traverses Pierce, King, and Yakima counties.

  • Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Week Through Memorial
    Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. September 10, 2014 September is a great month to visit the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Hiking trails are less crowded, nighttime temperatures are cooler, and huckleberry picking is still a favorite pastime. This is also a month when changes start occurring in national forest campground operations and other forest-related activities. Chelan Ridge Raptor Migration Project: Every September and October since about 1997, HawkWatch International and the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest have participated in counts of the autumn raptor migration through this region in an ongoing effort to monitor populations of raptors using the north Cascades migratory flyway. This years’ raptor count has started and guests are welcome to come up and participate in the raptor count. Counts typically range between 2,000-3,000 birds of up to 17 species per season. The most commonly seen species are the Sharp-shinned Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Cooper's hawk, Northern Harrier, Golden Eagle, and American Kestrel. There is no water or developed camping at the site, so bring binoculars, drinking water and wear sturdy walking shoes for the three quarter mile hike to the observation point. Be prepared for harsh weather conditions. Chelan Ridge is located approximately 13 miles northwest of Chelan. The study site is accessed by following Washington State Road 153 about 6 miles/11 km northwest of Pateros, then Black Canyon Road (USFS Road No. 4010) west–southwest until it ends, then Cooper Mountain Road (USFS Road No. 8020) southeast for another 3 miles/5.4 km.

Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan.
