Klone Peak – Mountain Biking – July 18, 2009
Klone Peak (6820 ft) is located in the Entiat mountains in Washington. Trail 1425 (Tommy Creek) is open to bikes and the tread is mostly smooth/sandy for the 5.6 mile gradual climb (partly through burned forest).
The view of Glacier Peak from the top is stunning. This impressive area (including the North Entiat Mountains & Chelan Mountains) is actually home to many >8,000 ft and >9,000 ft peaks…Magnificent!
Klone Peak is on Green Trail Map #146 (Plain). Drive up the Entiat River Road (#51) from Entiat. Just past Silver Falls Campground, turn left (west) on (gravel) Road #5605 and drive to the road’s end (trailhead @ 4400 ft).
