Description Suggest change

The land of hidden treasures, high up in the mountains...

This area is highlighted by lush forest, beautiful views and stellar rock. The area boasts many granite climbs developed between 2017 and 2019. The fields sit in the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness area; please practice LNT and make sure to store food properly. The field sits at 3200 feet and is inaccessible in winter and spring due to snow and avalanche chutes. Snow is typically passable by late June or early July. 

Starting at the parking you will meander through the forest, over streams, and over talus. The trail is well marked and heavily traveled. The area is diverse not only in its climbing but also scenery. One boulder you may have sweeping views toward the sound, and other places you are in private alcoves that seem detached from the rest of the world. Whether you are looking for beauty in movement, or just a place off the beaten path this is worth checking out. There is something for everyone, so get psyched, and get after it!

Special thanks to the crew who put hundreds of hours, dollars, and beers into making this place special. So thanks to Joe Stangel, Tyler B., Russell Hitch, Dean Baggs, Josh Bennett, and everyone else along the way who shared a brush, pad, or beta. Thanks guys, and to everyone else, may your time here be as magical as ours was.

Developers notes:

Mosquitoes and biting flies are horrendous. Deet does almost nothing. We found that Picaridin lotion worked the best.

The trail gets overgrown by ferns very quickly, taking some time to whack 'em with a stick helps keep trails open and clear, we'd appreciate the help!

This is an active area, things are constantly changing, when cutting a new trail or diverting around a fallen tree, please take the time to choose a path that is sustainable and ideally easy to follow.

Getting There Suggest change

Take Route 2 to Stevens Pass. Turn onto Tye Rd towards the Wellington Trailhead. Park on the left just before the third switchback. The trail enters the ferns on the north side of the road about 50 ft past the parking.

The approach to the River Boulder and the 1st Field is ~10 minutes and the the 2nd Field is ~15-25 minutes. Hike through a fern field, then a short section of forest to a large log over a stream. Take a sharp right at the end of the log and head north through forest for a few minutes. The River Boulder will be on your right. Soon the trail will lead you through the first talus; follow the bark and cairns further along to the second one.

Most climbs in the Fields get midday sun but there are definitely pockets of shade from few blocks in the trees. The River Boulder stays shady all day.
