It depends on where you leave the car. We read the signs about not crossing into a certain area and left the car there and walked two miles or so one way with maybe 750 gain. People had been driving up there. The site has a wonderful view of Lake Cle Elum and surrounding mountains. The hike was enjoyable, but that road back into there wasn't that wonderful. It's the same road system for getting to Tumbleweed/Lee's Cabin
