getting there

roslyn

Drive I-90 E and take Exit 80 to Bullfrog Rd. Follow Bullfrog Rd and SR-903 to Roslyn. Once in Roslyn park at the Pioneer Park parking lot at the Coal Mines Trailhead and ride to the Ewok Trailhead  at the end of North 2nd Street.

Mineral Springs Campground

Drive US-97 to 18 miles north of Cle Elem or 33 miles south of Leavenworth and turn west into the Mineral Springs Campground.

on the trail

Ride the Ewok Trail or combination of forest road and single-track trail up the Cle Elum Ridge from Roslyn. Once on the top of the ridge, on clear days enjoy amazing views of  Mount Rainier on one side and Mount Stuart, the Enchantment Range, and the entire Teanaway Valley on the other. After a short section on the main ridge forest road, descend an exhilarating and moderately technical single-track spur trail to the West Fork of the Teanaway River. Take a refreshing dip in the river, refill water bottles, and take a lunch break. An outhouse is available here.  Bike a short section on the paved Teanaway Road to the second and most strenuous climb of the day, Dickey Creek Road to nearly the high point on Teanaway Ridge. From the high point on the road consider a side trip to the Red Top Mountain summit. The descent to the Mineral Springs Campground is fast—make sure you have breaks in good working order!  After an overnight at the campground retrace the route back or a shuttle back to Roslyn.
