HEADS UP
Check road conditions before hikes
The Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest urges folks heading out for a scenic drive or hike to first check road conditions and closures.
This spring saw an unusually high number of road closures, wash-outs and uncleared or snow-packed sections of road that can limit access to trail heads and campgrounds. Spring is a melting season and can also prompt unexpected conditions.
