Trail Overview

Umtanum ridge road is a dirt road with a few deep rutted sections. There are multiple switchbacks as you continue up the hills and as you come down. There is a small bridge crossing with an excellent camping spot both to the right and the left of the bridge. Continuing up the mountains involves some steep inclines and some deeply rutted sections. Loose rocks and dirt road sections cover most of the terrain. Rattlesnakes have been seen on this trail, so please exercise caution around wildlife.

Status Reports

Entered from the Wenas side of the trail. Drove to the top of the ridge, camped for the night, and went back down the same way in the morning. We did not drive the full trail, but the Wenas side to the top of the ridge is clear and a relatively easy drive, just a few off-camber areas / loose rocks to be aware of and prepared for. Beautiful this time of year with wildflowers!

oasis springs area deep mud pit. only high clearance 4x4 with big tires have a chance to make it. several people went off trail to bypass it be fell into softer and deeper mud. best bet, stay on track and have buddies recover you. word of the wise, momentum is your friend along with shear guts and power. group went from the cell tower to oasis springs, didn't get across to see the other side of umptatum ridge road.
