FR 5484

FR-5848 is part of a network of old forest roads located southwest of Lake Kacheelus, in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, and several miles past Snoqualmie Pass. This trail takes you on an unmaintained forest road up and along a ridgeline, with scenic views along the way with various branching side trails. Due to a lack of maintenance, this trail can get rather brushy in the summer with portions and require a bit of "bushwacking". However, the bushes are rather light and leafy so your paint should be safe, They simply add some spice to the drive. Towards the end of the route, the trees open up offering views of Lake Kacheelus and the I-90 valley. It's a perfect place to catch the sunset. A popular snowmobile route in the winter/spring, this trail is only accessible in the summer and early fall.
