Beckler Road - Seattle Spring Camping Adventure

notchboy

I have been tempted several times to head out on the Shasta Adventure the split guys do now on a regular basis. But I dont have a split let alone time off in the winter to do it. Its also probably not a good idea for me to drive in the snow eithor, especially since my track record isnt all that great with just walking in it. Wink

So with Stuarts last adventure up Beckler Rd, near the Beckler River got the wheels turning for all of us that were chewing the fat on at the Fall Fling - Stuart, Zelten and myself.

So here it is! The begining of an actual plan to do so. Several fellow Seattleites have expressed interest as well and now neew to chime in here, especially if you've been there and done it already. The more information on this area the better, because Ive never been, but fron Stuarts account, I want to.

So who wants to make a Spring trip out of it?

I think Stuarts at work now so when he gets done he will have to point out exactly where he went. Beckler Rd starts down in Skynomish off the 2 and heads North up the Beckler River and goes way out to BFE. Stuart said there is camping - primative with water and maybe some poo holes but no toilets(flushing) and no water hook ups. No biggy for me. Im good with a GI shower for a day or two Wink

If I get the bus finished up (goal is to have it back on the road in time for the Springmeet in April), then you can count me in! That's a beautiful area up there and it's been a few years since I went that way.

barlow pass on mt loop hwy. good choice since im moving to granite falls in the next month. stop at barlow pass and hike to monte cristo. cool hike with pretty flat ground all the way. if you feel so ambitious one could hike all the way into glacier basin. going up the falls is amazing.

There are many trails around, lots of places with river access. Plenty of good big areas for multiple buses,

Jason do you winter camp?
