Pucker Ridge, WA
Cascade Mountains of Southern Washington
Pucker Ridge, WA
Video: On the first excursion from
our base camp near Rimrock Lake, we drove through a maze of old roads that
eventually led us to the old Blue Slide Lookout site, across the Short and
Dirty Ridge, and out onto Pucker Ridge Trail. Pucker Ridge is
a narrow trail winding along a ridge top. The off-camber sections
give the trail its name. Then it's onto the Kaner Flat and Rocky
Saddle Trails. These are your typical Pacific Northwest trails:
narrow path winding through the trees with an occasional peek at Mount
Rainier. Motorcyclists, ATVers, and four wheelers all use the road
system in the Wenatchee Forest and Shoestring area along Highway
410. Our third trip took the group across the historic Naches
Trail. In 1853 the Longmire-Biles party of 38 wagons carrying
180 settlers were lured across Naches Pass by the promise of a shortened
trip to Puget Sound. This trail is scenic, historic and a whole lot
easier in a 4x4 than a wagon. Approximate running time 68 minutes.
