Cascade River Road Opens for the Season

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on June 22, 2016. It is reproduced in full below.

Sedro Woolley, WA-The Cascade River Road is now open to all vehicles to its end at Cascade Pass Trailhead. The road has been closed for the winter at the Eldorado Trailhead, three and a half miles below the Cascade Pass Trailhead.

Construction earlier this year replaced the culverts at mile 12 at Hard Creek Bridge to improve and ensure continued access to areas along the road in the future and to decrease the potential for road failure.

The Cascade River Road provides access to the very popular Cascade Pass, Horseshoe Basin, and Sahale Arm Trails, as well as a scenic route for visitors hiking across the park to Stehekin. Boston Basin is a popular climbing area, with access to Forbidden, Sahale and Sharkfin peaks, and is also accessed via the Cascade River Road.
