russ Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Anyone been up the Cle Elum River Road this season. Is it melted out to the campground at 3,350'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 We were there three weeks ago and had to walk four miles of road to get to the Daniel TH. You might try calling Cle Elum and also check the Wenatchee National Forest recreation report. I think it said that the road was now open, but that the creek crossing was really deep. It was probably 16+ inches deep and fast when we were there - crossed it upstream on a log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klenke Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Don't forget the concrete ford on the road itself. That ford might be difficult to cross at this time of year with a lower clearance vehicle. That ford knocked off my Honda's muffler in July one year. The ford is a couple of miles before the Daniel trailhead. Maybe this ford is the crossing Mike is talking about.

russ Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 I just heard about the concrete ford from someone else, they also had difficulty with a low clearance vehicle. One person that may come has 4x4 pickup, so shouldn't have any trouble; otherwise it's my subaru.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtnear Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I usually close my eyes, white-knuckle the wheel, and FLOOR IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllYouCanEat Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I floated across that once. Yikes! Floor it for sure. Ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshK Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 Be a real man! Go drop $60k on a nice chrome polished Hummer 2 and barrel through it! Oh wait, no, it has the ground clearance of a Subaru... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
