Deroux Camp and Esmerelda Trailhead Workparty

Bring water and snacks. The event ends at 1PM, and it takes an hour to drive out of the forest, so you won't have access to other food until 2!

Directions from I-90 in Cle Elum:

Take exit 85 on I-90 to WA-10/WA-970 in Kittitas County.

Turn right to stay on WA-10/WA-970 for 6.5 miles

Turn left onto Teanaway Rd for 7.3 miles

Slight right onto NF-9737 for 8.2 miles

At the junction, stay left and drop down toward the river. Google Maps will try to keep you right, and you’ll be abandoned on the hillside with no parking and a steep drop to the trailhead!

Park along the loop where indicated, or at the trailhead as available, and meet your site lead at DeRoux trailhead to check in and pick up the provided tools and safety gear. 

If you use Google Maps, the directions will try to take you right at the final junction and will leave you high and dry on a narrow road on a steep hill. Stay left at the junction and swing down toward the river!
