R-1000

R-1000 is one of the connecting roads to and from Bethel Ridge; this one traveling east toward the town of Nile and away from Rimrock Lake. The trail takes you out of the end of the Okanogan Wenatchee National Forest, and into Department of Natural Resources land. Unlike the nearby Bethel Ridge, R-1000 has no substantial drop-offs, nor muddy holes to watch out for; short of a few puddles. Rather, it’s a nice, brush filled trail often surrounded by trees, but with a few barren patches. If traveling east from Bethel Ridge, the drive will be spent as a descent, before arriving at an intersection with Meloy Canyon Road. This trail is part of the Washington Cascade Overland Route.
