From Seattle drive east on I-90 to East Cle Elum, exit 85. Cross over the freeway overpass and turn right (northbound) on State Route 970. Turn left (north) on US 97, and drive to Blewett Pass and turn right (southeast) onto Forest Road 9716. In 3.7 miles turn left onto FR 9712 and continue 5 miles to Haney Meadows and the Ken Wilcox Horse Camp. Drive another mile past the camp and, crossing Naneum Creek, find the southern trailhead in the Upper Naneum Meadow at a sharp right-hand switchback in the road. Hikers with high-clearance vehicles can also access the northern trailhead: continue north on US 97 for 5 miles past Blewett Pass, turn right onto Five Mile Road (FR 7224), and drive 3.5 miles to an undeveloped campsite and trailhead.
