nobody Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 Thinking about sking/skining into the Tatoosh this weekend. Where is the trailhead this time of year? Do you park at Narada Falls and go up hill to gain the snow covered road then skin to reflection lakes? Any beta appreciated.... Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 I dont know about the snowfall this season but that is how I did it last January. Bring Skis of snowshoes. Whatever floats your boat. Walk is not that far either.. That is if you can park at Narada. YOu should call Rangers there they will know how far the road is drivable Quote
specialed Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 I've only skied there in the summer. I think it would depend on what part of the Tatoosh you want to go to. I'd ask MattP for details, he knows everything. Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 No Need for VWorld belayer to tell you what to do. Just call rangers like I said. They will tell you how far the road is driveable. Then you can skin or snowshoe on the top of the road from there. Pretty easy to follow all the way to Reflection Lake. If it is Narada (where you can drive to) it is less than 3 or 4 hours to the snowfield below Pinnacle and Castle Peaks if I recall... It's so simple you dont need much beta.

specialed Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 Caveman I'd ski you into the ground so quick you'd think you just took it in the ass from Lambone. [ 02-21-2002: Message edited by: specialed ] Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted February 21, 2002 Posted February 21, 2002 Good for you. I would punch your fucking face in so quick you wish you had a prrio injection from lameboner to distract some of the pain. Quote
nobody Posted February 22, 2002 Author Posted February 22, 2002 now children.. Thanks to all..... Quote
mattp Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Ed - I don't know everything, but I do know this one. You can park at Narada, and there is usually a boot track up the left side of the avalanche slope just accross the creek. Then head right on the road, and drop off at the first major bend in the road if you are headed toward Lane Peak or thereabouts, or continue on the road to the first Reflection Lake and head up and right to reach Castle/Piinnacle. Alternatively, you can ski down the road from Paradise to reach the same roadbed in that avalanche area above Narada Falls. But it is longer that way. Alos, note that there is usually (BEck -- is it there this year?) a marked alternate route to Reflection Lakes that avoids the avalanche slope. If you ski down from Paradise, a signed turnoff will head left. Quote
nolanr Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Don't mean to beat my chest, but I've made it from Narada parking lot to Reflection area in not much over 30 minutes on snowshoes, it's not very far at all. Quote
