2/7/2022 Posted On: 2/8/2022 By: wjaygee Info: Trailhead is up and running! The road is plowed until just after the trailhead parking and is easy to navigate with a 2WD vehicle. Just watch out for ice patches. Denny Creek serves as a snowmobile staging ground station in the winter. There are two areas of the TH which are plowed: one to the west and one to the east. The smaller east area is the better bet for passenger vehicles; the larger west area is shaped in a kind of circle, the middle of which is used for people to park their trucks and snowmobile trailers. The trail that goes to Yale starts from the west area but is only ~200 feet away from the east area. | ||||

7/5/2021 Posted On: 7/5/2021 By: vmunson Info: It's sort of a holiday so got to the TH at 6am but it wasn't even a third full. Bathrooms were stocked with toilet paper but nothing else positive to say about them! Nice that this parking lot is paved and actually has spaces, even room for trailers and an overflow lot. | ||||
