Please bring sturdy hiking boots with ankle support. If you want to bring an extra pair of regular shoes for in the car that is totally fine. Bring 2 liters of water with you on the trail. There are spots on the trail where you can get water so you can bring a water filter if need be.  It is about a two-hour drive to the trailhead. A high clearance vehicle would do better on the road to the trailhead.

Optional dinner stop in Cle Elum at Caboose Bar & Grill.
