Naches 4X4 Trail

the bridge towards the South east end of the trail is broken and un-crossable. great trail for the rest though lots of fun. muddy and a bit of snow at the high points.

We traveled the trail 9/15-17/2025 from W to E. Photo of trail obstruction narrow squeeze 400 ft uphill east of FS7068000. Near vertical rock on N with overhanging stump on S. We bypassed as our Wrangler has exterior side roof rack posts. As previously noted a portion of the trail is Obstructed / Closed due to a creek crossing bridge being out. This portion begins 1 mile W of FS7030 at an unnamed cross road. An official FS Trail Closed sign is now posted in the middle of the trail on the W end. We bypassed the final portion by gong S to FS 70.

Last leg of eastbound travel between the FS 70 intersection and the Stampede Pass Road (trails end) is completely impassable due to bridge obstruction. I left a makeshift marker at the FS 70 intersection. Drivers looking continue the Naches trail should turn right at the marker and bypass the last leg of the trail towards Stampede Pass.

Bridge Crossing is busted up,

the bridge over the creek just east of FS 7030 is down. one of main support logs is broken as well as several.deck boards.

A group of us (10 Jeeps) were able to traverse the West and East portions of the trail without any damage and most did not have lockers. It was dusty, but not obnoxiously so.

West entrance is closed. Take forest service road farther east and enter the trail after Naches Peak.

Stock JLU Willys made it from the third access to the end. Definitely a few tight spots and some careful wheel placement was required to get through with only a few brush marks.

Trail was we but passable, the middle section is the easiest.

The closes from October (or so) until July 16th, per posted signs. There was a work party going on when I visited on July 14th.
