Alpinfox Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Peep this: In the acess forum Since Ingalls peak is nowhere near Cascade Pass, how is this relevant? Give them a call: Cle Elum Ranger District Rodney Smoldon,District Ranger 803 W. 2nd Street Cle Elum, WA 98922 (509) 852-1100 Fax: (509) 852-1080 TTY: (509) 674-9770 If you give them a call, please report back here. I'm curious about that road as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodchips Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) Ok, I'll put in the access forum next time. Anyway, I concur that Ingalls isn't really very close to cascade pass, and info on it isn't really helpful. Access has two "c"s.

jon Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 (edited) As of Sunday the road to Beverly Creek Campground was snowed in about 3.5 miles from the TH if you have a good 4x4, otherwise you are looking at about 4.5 to 5 miles. We had to walk about 2 miles and then skinned the final 1.5 or so to the trailhead. Mountain bikes wouldn't be a bad option, especially if your vehicle has low clearance. The snow coverage was fantastic up there! Edited May 11, 2007 by jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldiron Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 We brought mountain bikes on Sunday. It was a good choice. I found it to be much easier to get over the snow sections with my tires deflated to 10-15 psi. With cold nighttime temps you can ride all the way to the TH.

woodchips Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Called the ranger station this AM, they said the road is driveable to within 2 mi of the TH. Any guesses what the route might be like this time of year? Anyone been up there yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any guesses what the route might be like this time of year? Anyone been up there yet? I was on Stuart today. The road is open all the way. I ran into a couple at the TH who had just done the south face of Ingalls as a mixed climb with crampons and tools. They said there was ice in the cracks and patches of snow on the face, but it was melting out and drying up fast. It got pretty warm today. they post-holed a lot getting to the route. The skiing is really good right now, so bring skis if you can. The snow on Stuart was firm, no post-holing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
