most fun in an open diffed YJ or sammy, coils and lockers take all the fun away.
bring bugspray:haha:
I always thought Salmon la sac was a town but it is a dead end road with a campground/snowpark/hiking trailhead. I have been snowmobiling over there, lots of places to go. It is funny going anywhere you want off road in a snowmobile. You just make your own lines through the woods. Totally different than the 4x4 trails around here.

Van Epps and Gallagher Head are excellant trails for stock rigs. Unless there is snow the trails offer no challenge. There are great camping spots and views. The area does see frequent Forest Service patrols and is being closely watched by the WTA. The WTA has dreams of turning the area into Non-motorized and is working the system to do just that. Stay tuned!!

If its the area I remember, out Salmon-la-sack I remember going up there camping/wheeling with Toylet and a couple buddies few year back. This was during the summer.
Couple places you needed 4wd, already with old-skool open/open rigs and before we could drive decent. But cool place and trails that wound up the mountain side (bare and open) with mine shafts to check out dotted all over.
I definitely would want to head out there again, but I thought I heard it was all closed/gated now. Maybe I'm thinking of a different fork.
IIRC we went up Salmon-la-Sac road past lake Cle Elum, to the north end, then continued up the road north along the river that feeds the lake. I think it turned into a gravel road with some cabins and various camp sites scattered here and there.
Cool and fun area, but its been MANY years since I ran up that way... be fun to do it again.

I was riding up there this weekend, very scenic area.
Riding what?
That green thing in the garage. In the winter time alot of the roads the in that area are closed to wheeled vehicles and snowmobiles are everywhere. 60 mph on a sled through the woods is a blast!
