In the Open — The National Forests of Washington Twdu 



Entiat Valley, which opens into the Columbia Valley at Entiat, parallels Lake 

 Chelan and offers excellent outing opportunities for visitors. A road passable for 

 automobiles extends 30 miles up the Entiat. The best camps are on the last 5 

 miles of the river road. The one at Silver Creek, at the end of the road, is popular. 

 Trips into Entiat Valley usually outfit at Entiat, where horses can be hired. 

 Mad Take, the Entiat Glacier, and the picturesque heights on both sides of the valley 

 are readily accessible, and fishing in the river and many of its tributaries is good. 



The Forest Service has surveyed several groups of summer home sites at various 

 points along Take Chelan, where lots may be leased at from $10 to $15 a year. The 

 Eorest Supervisor, at Okanogan, Wash., or the Deputy Supervisor at Chelan will 

 be glad to answer any inquiries about summer home permits or give inform^ation 

 concerning routes and arrangements for camping trips. District rangers are located 

 at Chelan, Stehekin, and Stelik Ranger Stations. 



COLUMBIA NATIONAL FOREST 



THE Columbia National Forest lies in the southern part of the State and extends 

 from the Columbia River northward to the Cispus River and from Mount 

 Adams westward to Mount St. Helens. It lies on both sides of the 

 Cascade Range. 



A system of roads and trails, with a total length of 534 miles, gives easy access 

 to points of special interest within the Forest. Forest travelers unfamiliar with the 

 country will have little difficulty in finding their way, because there are signboards 

 along trails and at important trail intersections. 



Game is fairly abundant, and the well-stocked streams and lakes furnish 

 excellent sport for the angler during the open season. 



The outfitting points for the eastern side of the Forest are Guler and Trout 

 Lake, Wash., about 26 miles north of White Salmon, the nearest railroad point. An 

 automobile stage, daily except Sunday, connects White Salmon with Guler. Auto- 

 mobiles for special trips can also be obtained at Guler. Not only hotel accommoda- 

 tions, but also saddle horses, pack horses, packers, and guides usually may be secured 

 at Guler. 



The base of Mount Adams is 12 miles north. This notable peak has an eleva- 

 tion of 12,307 feet and its summit is crowned with perpetual snow, while extensive 

 glaciers hold its upper slopes in their icy fingers. These glaciers present great
