Manastash Backroads Trip
By Eastern Washington Expeditions

On Sunday September 5th 2021 we left the Eastern Washington Expeditions Club House in Selah at 10 AM with five Jeeps. We convoyed through the Yakima River Canyon to Ellensburg and then ran Manastash Road west.

We aired down just past the private property up the gravel part of Manastash Road FS31. Then we head up and stopped at the Viewpoint.

We then headed on Quartz Mountain we had a view of the Schneider Springs Fire. As we were there a deer and her babies came walking up on us. Of course I didn’t have the camera ready.

We headed back down and took FS3120, FS3120-109, and dropped drown 4W311. We then ran FS3111 back to just past were we turned down 4W311 and turned down FS3111-115. As you inter the L.T. Murray FS3111-115 changed names to Walter Springs. We ran it all the way down to FS31.

We ran Manastash Road, Umtanum Road, and turned onto Durr Road. We ran Durr Road all the way across the Wenas Wildlife Area and came out on Sheep Company Road. We headed home from there.

Little Naches Backroads Trip
By Eastern Washington Expeditions

By Clay Graham / CegPics.com

On Saturday September 4th 2021 we left the Eastern Washington Expeditions Club House in Selah at 10 AM with four Jeeps. We convoyed to Little Naches with one stop in between at the Wood Shed to meet up with Dwain in his GMC pickup. At NF19 and FS1901 we stopped and aired down.

We took FS1901 up, then FS1915 to Lily Pond. We drove up to the intersection of 4W676 and 4W617. We took a break there and watched many people in 4×4 rigs and side-by-sides heading up 4W676.

Next we headed back down to NF19 and then up to Lost Meadow where we stopped for lunch.

We then headed up FS1906. We made our way onto FS1902 and up to Raven Roost. At Raven Roost Mount Rainier was hiding. The Schneider Springs Fire was showing off.

We headed down FS1902 to Crow Creek and then turned up FS1920. We made our way up to Fife’s Ridge and found there realty wasn’t any good views without hiking and no place to park without blocking vehicles in. It was tight turning around with all the vehicles parked at the trailhead. We headed back down and aired up for home at Long Meadow.

This was a fun day on the backroads of Little Naches.

Report by Clay Graham. Photos by Clay & Odo Graham. / CegPics.com

On Wednesday September 8th 2021 we left the Graham Family Farm in Selah at 10 AM with three Jeeps. We convoyed over Wenas/Ellensburg Pass to Manastash Road and headed up. We stopped and aired just pass the private property. Then headed on up. We were able to get out of the smoke of the Schneider Springs Fire.

Since we had all smaller 4×4 rigs we decided to run 4W311. We stared at Riders Camp and came out at Shoestring Trailhead.

We then headed from FS31 up FS3120, ran FS330, and then out Taneum Road. We aired up once we got to the county road.

We drove through Ellensburg and topped off the fuel tanks. Then we ran the Yakima River Canyon back to Selah.
