This is a hike and snowshoe trip is off Hwy 410 just west of the town of Greenwater and across from the Federated Forest. FS 7120. Trail is initially snowfree and then you have snow at about 2200 foot. Thanks to Dennis Long for photos and GPS tracks.

Driving directions: Take Highway 410 and from Enumclaw and go east about 18 miles and once at  the Federated Forest (which is on the right)  turn left on FS 7120.

Trail stats: This is one of the trips you can go as far or short of a distance that you like to. Note there are several big down trees to climb over at the start of the hike but after that no issues.

Here are several trips you can do:
This is 5.3 miles roundtrip and 1200 foot gain
This is to the "cross" and is only 2.5 miles roundtrip and 700 foot gain
