Gallagher Head Lake via Fortune Creek Trail

Getting some high elevation in the Teanaway area usually requires some hiking but this trail system has several roads that get to the high country. The 4WD trail leaves the main Cle Elum Valley Road going up to the Gallagher Head Lake. There is a seasonal motororized use closure but conditions usually permit when it gets used. At the lake are around 3 good camp sites.
