Info on Fortune Creek / Gallagher Head Lake WA

[Drannan Tidwell]

My son is now old enough to ride for more than 20 mins in a car without needing a stop. I'm planning a trip to over to Gallagher Head Lake in a month or so (I had the idea before I saw y'alls youtube video). Is there anything I need to worry about on the trail? I'll be driving my 2013 Nissan Frontier long bed crew cab. I has a 2 in lift and I'm running 33" KO2's. That and if anyone is in my area and wants to meet up and come along let me know.

I went on the OB run last August. It was before I installed my lift and tires, and I had no trouble getting up there, aside from a bit of battle damage. Taking a slightly different line would have prevented that. There were a couple of people in stock rigs, that sat lower than mine, and had no problems or damage at all.



I just saw a post on IG yesterday that there's still a bit of snow, but they estimated it would probably all be gone in another week or two.

Thank you, the photo will help me get the rock sliders.

What is your rig by the way?

 

[Quicksilver]

Yup, sliders are next on my list, too. It's a 2011 Nissan Xterra pro-4X.

So not too far off from my Frontier just a longer wheelbase on mine and about the same 2 inch lift? Love the Xterra unfortunately lost mine to a fuel truck

Has anyone been up Gallagher Head Lake/Fortune Creek yet this season (2019). I’m wondering if the snow has all melted yet & what’s the current trail condition?
