The Entiat State Wildlife Area burned in 1994 so expect the typical regrowth foliage as the ride ascends along the ridgeline between Steliko and Byers Canyons.
Shuttling from the FR5340 TH would create a fast downhill ride, but the terrain is moderate enough for a reasonable OAB.
Directions: From Co Rd 19 go onto FR5310 (Steliko Lookout Rd) and go 2mi to the TH, just past the Steliko Lookout tower road. View Larger Map. No Map?.
