Rainy Pass
This particular Rainy Pass is
a dirt road in the Stevens Pass / Wenatchee
area. Neither sings in the area nor the de
Lorme Gazeteer use this name. I got the name
from a map on the web at bikeleavenworth.com .
There is also a better known, paved Rainy Pass
in the North Cascades.
From North. West of
Lake Wenatchee FR8700 leaves FR65, crosses the
little Wenatchee River, and begins a steady
climb. This is a fairly wide gravel road. Most
of the bottom stretches are too gravelly to ride
standing up, while near the top it's not a
problem. The road stays in the forest most of
the time so that views are very limited. But as
the road switches back to the east, you do get a
pretty good idea of the main ridge of the
Cascades to the west.
Dayride
PARTIALLY PAVED / UNPAVED ( < FR9712

Approaches
From South. (described
downwards). The closest thing to a far view is
looking south from the top. Then a fast descend
leads down Smithbrook Road to a junction with
US2 to Stevens Pass.|
