I hunt the LT and have always wanted to ride in there and check it out, can you? With the avey danger as it is I thought this would be a good option.
Manastash - LT Murrey udate?
- Thread starter ericbigbore
- Start date
Yes. Good riding with most areas fairly safe.
Nice! I know every inch of that area after hunting my arse off in there. I know there are NO ELK but the riding looks fun.
Here is where the elk hang out.
And still no spikes! Nice pic..
Eric - One of my houses is on Upper Peoh Pt. rd. and I head out my back door and ride there all the time. 250 miles up there in the last 3 weeks, was there yesterday.....Good riding, just not much hill climbing. Grooming used to be good, the the new guy this year isn't cutting it yet.
Just gotta remember the Green Dot road system thing. Not supposed to ride cross country and I see Wildlife Officers up there on sleds on occassion....Had a good ride....

Thanks for the info but are you saying you can't go off road in the LT and it's enforced? Is that the deal? I'm not looking for a road ride, no thanks. I have ridden the stash and I know there is good riding but I always wanted to rip up the LT.
Not saying I haven't done it, but it's supposed to be Green Dot road only inside LT Murrary boundaries and I do see Wildlife guys in there on Sleds. They can ride the other trails to go count and check on wildlife, so when you come following their tracks, they got ya.....(Saw you have a cabin a Pine Loch also? We have a lot in common).......

I did'nt want to say it but.... the LT sounds like a mid week romp and I'm going to check it out. My buddy has a cabin at the very end of mu shu lane and we are there almost every weekend when I'm not in the Methow or my 20 days in Cascade and McCall. We should ride some time and share info.
The good off road riding in Manastash is NOT on LT Murray WDFW managed lands, it is on Forest Service and private timber company managed lands south and west of LT Murray. FS managed lands are open to cross-country snowmobile use. 
The green dot system only covers a very small area that we use for snowmobiling. From what I can tell, the green dot system mostly covers the south facing slopes dropping off South Cle Elum Ridge (from Sky Meadows and such) into the Taneum valley. After you take various routes up the north facing slope from there you then enter FS land and can have at it.

UR, the best riding is not on LT Murray Land. For me, it's 2 ridges south, but I've already given up too many secrets here latelly.
Eric - My cabin a Pine Loch Sun is on Slo-Mo-Shun Ln also - 1st one on the left as you come in. I met your buddy when he moved in a year and half ago? I'm not there much as I'm finishing building a retirement home at the east end of Upper Peoh Pt. Rd......I ride out of my garage there also....See ya on the trail....
Thansk for the map and info. The Dillons actually built their cabin years ago. See you in the hills.
Sorry, when you said "end of the road" I thought you meant the cabin below Dillons. I went by Dillons on Wed this week, looked like they were around....UR right about years ago, they were there when I bought in 1984...
Was that you digging out with a smile on your face? Small world!
