Mike W Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I'm a Seattle guy, but I used to like playing up in them thar hills. Mountain biking, fly fishin', just drivin' around...it's all good especially in the spring time. A nice sunday drive with the lady is Swauk pass to Mission Ridge then down to Wenatchee. More offroadsy, those canyons north of Eburg and up to Colockum Pass. Seems like Cook canyon was about the only one open most of the time. There was other roads roads up canyons but the gates were usually closed. South of Eburg, I've had some fun adventure drives up Umtanum Ridge. This time of year, if the snow is melted, there should be lots of flowers and good views. My Bro' was over there today in fact, hiking Umtanum Canyon. Very popular hike these days.

SubaruWagon87 Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Going up the end of Reecer creek road is pretty fun stuff. I was up there with a couple of friends today, and we spent a good 4 hours drivin around. We would have gone further up, but we ran into big snow piles blocking the road. I'm sure in a couple of months it'll be clear. As for cook canyon, I haven't been up there for about 5 years, I went with my dad once in the summer, and once in the winter on snowmobiles, and I was impressed with the canyon. I'm hoping to get some friends together and taking an all day trip up there. I haven't been in the hills south of e-burg except for once, and I only went about 6 miles up manastash to a friends cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooinater Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 the liberty area just west of you is good wheeling. get ahold of the manashtash ranger district for maps of several hundred miles of 4x4 trails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruWagon87 Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 I've known about Liberty being good wheelin territory, but I haven't ventured that far yet. I guess memorial day weekend there is supposed to be a huge off road rally, with some 400 vehicles attending. Rooinater, thanks for the info, I'm going to have to check that out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
