This is a drive-up summit in the Capitol State Forest, west of Olympia. Map to Coordinates: 47.0261, -123.1691. The road is a dirt forest service road with some potholes, but any car should be able to make it. You can drive right up to the activation zone. We walked about 25 feet from where we parked to get a little higher. There are stumps and tall grass with some small trees.

Carne Mountain, WA - October 2024
Summit:
W7W/CH-142
From Lake Wenatchee, travel north on Forest Service Road 6200. The Carne Mountain trailhead is at the end of a 13-mile dirt road. The first 11 miles are rough, but the last 2 have recently been regraded and are quite decent. A high clearance vehicle is recommended, although we made it in our low clearance campervan. No pass is required and we slept at the trailhead to get an early start the next morning. The parking lot is small, and people park on the side of the road when the lot is full. It can be difficult to turn around if people park on both sides.
