| RickandRhonda | Index/Galena road route is washed out (can be reached by way of Skykomish though) | |
Hasn't voted | Index/Galena road is washed out 6.4 miles from SR2. The damage is so severe that there is talk of not doing any repairs. Currently, and for the foreseeable future, you do not want to follow the "getting there" directions. If you want to climb Kyes Peak from the Blanca Lake TH, just keep driving past Index. In fact, go all the way past Skykomish. Approximately one mile past Skykomish, you'll find Beckler River road on the left. Turn left here. Drive Beckler River road all the way to Jack's Pass. At Jack's Pass, continue driving, descending from the five way interesction at Jack's Pass on the main road. (Index/Galena road and Beckler River road are essentially the same road, by the way.) Forest Service Road 63 is just before the gate on the right (there's signage) on Index/Galena road. The drive from Skykomish to 63 is 15.1 miles. It's considerably out of the way, but not impossible to get there. | |
