Meet at the main Blewett Pass Sno-Park @ 8:00 am. Sno-park permit required for drivers. Carpooling encouraged and trip will hinge on having enough willing drivers. Suggested contribution for passengers from North Bend to Blewett Pass and back is $20 based on distance and the need for a Sno-park day pass.
The primary goal of this trip will be to enjoy the views along Wenatchee Crest for about 6 miles with about 600-700 feet of gain (Route 74 in Snowshoe Routes 3rd Edition).
