Sleeveless Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Cascade River Road Now Completely Open CONTACT: Tim Manns, 360-856-5700 (365); North Cascades National Park Complex Prepared July 15, 2004 At 1:00 pm today repair of the damage done to the Cascade River Road during last October’s storms was completed, and the road opened to the public. In coordination with the National Park Service, a Federal Highway Administration contractor fixed the severely eroded sections at Boston, Midas, and Morning Glory Creeks within the North Cascades National Park portion of the road. The road is now open all the way to its end at the Cascade Pass Trailhead 23 miles from Marblemount. http://www.nps.gov/noca/news-release.htm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshK Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 As much as we bag on them, I'll give props to the park service. For a government repair project, that was reasonably quick. Ahead of schedule even, wasn't it? I wonder what the repairs look like and how long they'll last this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esugi Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Being the one to experience 3 additional miles just to get to Cascade Pass trailhead (from near milepost 20) back in June (Sahale climb), this is great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrible_ted Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 As much as we bag on them, I'll give props to the park service. For a government repair project, that was reasonably quick. Ahead of schedule even, wasn't it? I wonder what the repairs look like and how long they'll last this time. When we went up in June the backhoe crew clearing the main debris field "smoothed" some of the boulders around and then stopped work to let us push our bikes through. They let us know about the smaller debris field further up the road and were generally pretty nice. The next evening, both sections were smooth enough to bike over - slowly, in the dark... Thanks guys! -t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
