Local (Seattle area) fans of Mt. Si will enjoy the latest news from Washington State Department of Natural Resources: a five-mile stretch of the CCC Road near Mt. Si will be converted into a trail for hiking, horseback riding, and biking.
Between August 20 and the month of September, crews will be working to convert the old logging road into a trail more suitable for hikers. Though the route is already popular with the outdoors crowd, WA DNR will be working hard to remove debris and culverts. They’ll also be trucking in gravel for shaping the newly established trail.
Part of the new trail will fall into US Forest Service land, though most of the trail falls just east of the Mt. Si Natural Resources Conservation Area.The temporary road closure is designed to keep people out of danger while crews use large machinery to clear culverts from the area.
