Ashlu Mountain
Jul 25, 2016
Having not seen many recent trail reviews we decided to attempt this hike. The road is impassible (washed out bridge that no 4 wheeled vehicle has a hope of crossing) about 4 or 5 km after you cross ashlu creek and begin climbing away from the power project.
Even up to this point the road is very knarly, I have an pathfinder with good tires and we almost got stuck a handful of times. If your vehicle has good approach angles that will help. There's a river crossing which is tricky that I managed but the long bed pick up that we saw didn't because he wouldn't be able to climb out of the colvert cause of the sharp change in angle. We estimate that the bridge out is about 12-15 km from the trail head. There are planks set up for crossing the river on foot but you would need to make this an over nighter for sure. Reads:577
