Lush valleys of old-growth forest define its western boundary, and at its eastern edge, rugged shrub-steppe country comprises a more arid region. Elevations range from below 1,000 feet to over 9,000 feet. Precipitation varies greatly thoughout the area, ranging from approximately 140 inches along the Cascade Crest to only 10 inches along the eastern edge. Visitors to the area can expect many days of warm, sunny weather in the summer and plenty of snow in the winter. Nearby Attractions Boulder Cave National Recreation Trail is one of the most popular places in the Naches District. Visitors can walk the accessible trail along the river or explore Boulder Cave. Interpretive signs along the trail explain the geology, plants, animals and fire history of the area.

Fire pits and picnicking tables
I believe a discover pass is required we had ours so...
Beautiful drive on the 410
No cell reception on Sprint network
Pretty much quiet too and dogs loved it
We stayed here one night and we were pleasantly surprised when we got here. The site was paved and the fire pit and table area was huge compared to many places we've been. No hookups, but there was one spigot for drinking water not too far from our site which is rare on this stretch of 410. The elevation is a little higher here so the temperatures in the summer time when we visited were very mild. This is one of the better non-hookup sites compared to some of the campgrounds more towards Yakima on HWY 410.
