Naches Trail

The Naches Trail is a 13-mile technical 4WD route across Naches Pass in Washington's Cascade Range, following the original wagon trail used by the 1853 Longmire Party — the first overland emigrant party to cross the Cascades. The trail has changed little since: rutted dirt with off-camber sections, mud holes, obstacles up to 18 inches tall, and passages so tight that long-wheelbase vehicles get stuck and must back out. The route runs between Greenwater on the west side and the Little Naches River on the east.
