The Naches trail is not that bad if you skip the first, lower, part and park at the upper staging area.
Going down the east side it looks like it will be a tough ride back up but it really isn't. The are two or three step ups over roots coming back up the east side and a long uphill rocky area but nothing harder than you have ridden.

The forest pass (single day use or season pass) can be purchased at any forest service office or at the office in Enumclaw on the way to the Naches Trail
I think that the single day pass is $5.00 truck.

Any chance of setting up a week day ride to Naches trail? I wouldn't want DM to be the slow scaredy cat sissy on the ride. Wish I could get SWMBO to retire so my weekends would be available for playing. Just five days a week to do what I want is tough.

You can also park on the road that leads to the staging area, I believe the staging area is at the end of the road, but I could be wrong. You can get your truck and trailer in that spot [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I've slowed down to Cheech Speed lately, no more racey through the trails for me, I'm preparing for old age riding style.

As for riding Naches during the week, only way I could do it is to take a day off, would have to plan that day trip out carefully with alot of honey do's marked off the list, not entirely impossible though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
