As usual, visitors will still need a HIGH-GROUND-CLEARANCE VEHICLE, such as an SUV or truck, to safely reach the trailhead.
Be prepared for freezing temperatures at night.
With possible heavy wind, tree limbs can come down over the road, be prepared with tools to remove such debris.
If you are making reservations for winter months (late Nov-March), you will need even higher clearance with 4WD and snow chains.
Do not use GPS! Follow the directions emailed to you with the reservation confirmation.

- Approx. 2 hrs driving to the trailhead from Seattle.
