Status Reports

A few trees down, but got cleared. Easy trail for most. Great viewpoint.

The road is very accessible for any vehicle and offers nice views over Lake Wenatchee once you are on the top (and when there is no smoke). Low clearance vehicles may struggle a bit the first 300ish yards with 5 or so deep dips on the road, after that is just a regular unpaved forest road.

Road is clear but unmaintained, someone has cleared down trees to the overlook, but not on the line creek or peavine spur. There are big runoff ditches for the first half a mile that will present a problem for low clearance vehicles.
