The hiking trail itself may have standing water up to 10 inches so be prepared for a muddy hike!

The road is open but only passable by HIGH-GROUND-CLEARANCE VEHICLES; we recommend something like a JEEP or TRUCK to the trailhead. There is water on the gravel road in places.

Traveling with a shovel and ax (or chainsaw) are always recommended this time of year.

If you are making reservations for winter months (Nov-March), you will continue to need a very high-clearance vehicle with 4WD and snow chains.

Do not use GPS! Follow the directions emailed to you with the reservation confirmation.

Driving + hiking times from Seattle = 4 hrs:

• Approx. 2 hrs driving to the trailhead from Seattle.
• Approx. 2 hrs (4.5 miles one way) hiking to the Goldmyer property from the trailhead.
• Check in is on the property after the hike.
