We will meet at the trail head , 9:00 am . Drive Hwy 2 to Nason Creek Rest Area , arriving by 7:30 am , and leaving for the trail head at 7:45 am from the rest area . I am suggesting this time frame for determining progress to the trail head , and you may choose to drive directly to the trail head . From the rest area drive five miles on Hwy 2 to Coles Corner . Turn left , North, onto St. route 207 ,signed for Lake Wenatchee and proceed 4.2 miles to a Y intersection after crossing the Wenatchee River. Bear left onto North Shore Road . At 7.6 miles after passing the Ranger Station and crossing the White River the road becomes Forest Road 65. Continue West on Fr 65 for 14 miles to the roads end at the trail head .You may wish to take the Smith Brooke Rd to FR 65 , however I do not know the road conditions , and do not recommend the route . The Mountaineers , in accordance with Covid- 19 policy does not recommend carpooling ,except with family members .
