Overview

It’s definitely rocky, but it sure ain’t flat! 20 miles west of Ellensburg is Rocky Flat Road, a trail with oodles of possibilities. By itself, it’s a long, winding route climbing up Bald Mountain and features views of the Cascades to the west. But, there’s much more to be found along the drive. During the summer months, Rocky Flat is most often used as an easier, though not necessarily quicker route to a local wheeling spot, Moon Rocks and Funny Rocks. Additionally, those traveling across the Cascade Overland Route will find numerous campsites with plenty of room. Rocky Flat will be covered in snow during the winter months and will provide excellent snow wheeling. Rocky Flat Road will be part of a memorable trip, whether you’re wheeling, camping, or playing in the snow. This trail is part of the Washington Cascade Overland Route. Visit Overlanding Across Washington for more information, including which trails to take next.
