Denny Creek Trailhead Conditions?

Post by Mitsugi »

Hi guys,

Looks like Yale is first up this year! I just want to see if anybody has any info on the snow on the road leading up to it. I know its 2WD but could still be a lot of snow.

It seems that they have been plowing that one to the TH in winter recently. I went to that TH in January and it was smooth sailing in my mighty Corolla. :lol: I imagine unless there is a big snow dump in the past day or two that it can be considered accessible year round.

That's... not the vehicle I expected. You own something other than The Great Orange Toaster? Rhetorical question, clearly.
