Shingle Mountain

NF-6600-020 is a short trail off of the main path of the Cascade Overland Route, offering dispersed camping. It’s narrow and overgrown flora means it’s a trail less traveled, making the camping even more secluded. This does, however, pose some risks for vehicles and passengers as well. With lots of low hanging tree limbs, caution should be taken so as to not hit the windshield with too much force. Pinstriping may occur as well, and the dense overgrowth will make it difficult to turn around on the trail. For that reason, understand that if you go past Waypoint 2, the camping area, you may need to back out rather than turn around. Shingle Mountain makes for a nice secluded campsite, just far enough from the more frequented route that you shouldn't have any unwanted company. This trail is part of the Washington Cascade Overland Route. Visit www.trailsoffroad.com/blog/overlanding-across-washington for more information, including which trails to take next.
