Whistler Creek Road (FR 7030)

High Roads
off FR 70 (Greenwater Area)
This access road will get you into some Western Washington high country. FR 70 out of Greenwater already attracts a large number of off-roaders, especially for the Naches Trail. But what the Naches Trail lacks in distant views, going up the Whistler Creek Road makes up for. Although much of it is logging country, even the most sensitive tree hugger can appreciate the viewpoints and hikes along this road and its spur trails. For several miles, even the Pacific Crest Trail parallels this road. In summer, this ridge-top road is part of a little-known cross Cascades route to get from Greenwater to Cle Elum.
From Greenwater on Highway 410, continue south about 2 miles. Turn left on FR 70 and stay on it roughly 8 miles. Look for FR 7030 to drop down on the left.
