Cle Elum — Roslyn Ridge Trailhead on Forest Road 4308

The Roslyn Ridge Trailhead on FR 4308 sits in the transition zone between the Cle Elum Valley pines and the open ridgeline that feeds into Teanaway country. It’s an honest dirt-road drive from Roslyn — the kind of gravel approach that shakes out the cobwebs and sets the tone. Hikers and horse packers share the space; the pullout accommodates maybe 6-8 vehicles with a trailer or two if you’re tidy. Pit toilet on site, no water.

This trailhead connects into the Okanogan-Wenatchee trail network and works well as a staging point for Teanaway Ridge Road runners looking to add a ridge loop. Snow lingers on the upper trail into June most years — call the Cle Elum Ranger District for current conditions. Road surface is packed gravel and dirt; a high-clearance rig handles it without drama in dry weather.
