White River Road

Anyone know if the WR Road is still open? I wuz up there 2 weeks ago and you could still drive to the campground. Figuring with the warm dry weather it might still be open.

 

Thanks for any info!

You should call the Park Service. I heard it was closed 11/15.

I called the Enumclaw R.S. last Wednesday. The person there told me the Mather Memorial Parkway between Cayuse Pass and the North (White River) Entrance to the park is closed. Therefore, getting to trailheads like Fryingpan Creek and White River means foot (or bike) travel on roads. A lot of extra mileage. Probably best to go somewhere else to have a good time.

the Mather Memorial Parkway between Cayuse Pass and the North (White River) Entrance to the park is closed.

 

Well, the WSDOT says both Cayuse and Chinook remain open today. I'd guess probably until significant snowfall.

What have I learned here? I have learned that Forest Service rangers don't necessarily have a clue. This time, I called the National Park. The Mather Memorial Parkway IS open between Cayuse Pass and the North (White River) Entrance to the park. However, the road to Fryingpan Creek, White River Campground, and Sunrise is closed at the Y (i.e., at the MM Parkway junction).
