The Naches Pass Trail...
...is featured in 4Wheel Drive and Sport Utility Magazine.
WATTORA does the Naches Pass Trail at least once a year, usually more, often with at least one stock Toyota with us and I must admit that we have never managed to put a rig on it's side like the magazine did... it must be a Jeep thing hehehe
Anyway, if you are interested in reading a bit about typical Washington wheeling, check out the article. I have scanned the pages and linked to the online article at; http://www.watrd.com/work/naches/
If that catches your eye, there are photos from our past chapter runs, including many trips across the Naches on our website at http://www.wattora.com/ Just click the "Past Events" link in the navigation bar.

Ehhh ... magazines aren't always as great as they would like you to think they are. Flopping probably makes them feel they are more hard-core. If WATTORA has never put a rig on its side, the magazine writers must have been "trying harder."

The article says they ran it on the last day of the season, so that would have been the end of October. Judging by the sign, the look of the pictures and the commentary about how the trail progressed, I would venture a guess that they ran it West to East.

Thanks for the scans Rob.
October is when I did it from West to East back around '99 I think it was?
And that was with a stock rig with the same type of tires I have now, the Les Schwab Wild Country TXRs sized at 31", and I ran it at 35 PSI before I knew better
Also had the running boards on, and came through the trail with zero damage with carefull spotting in parts.
I hope to run it with you some day, probably a few summers from now.
I have that tape too from Central 4WD where the Kent, WA. crew runs the trail.
Pretty good video of the area.

The snow pack through this part of the Cascades is deep and cold...
Disclaimer: This observation does not mean the West end of the trail is open yet. Posted dates are posted dates. Of course we watched a couple dirt bikers totally ignore the posted signs. Well they didn't ignore them totally, the one guy stopped to explain to his buddy that the trail was indeed closed before they proceeded to continue on their way through it right in front of us.

I dunno how I read your first message yesterday. I _did_ read it, but the comprehension switch must have been turned off.
sorry.
