Please check our Alerts page for any current access alerts.<\/strong> Once logging operations are complete, DNR plans to decommission the former road. The WCC is working to upgrade the access trail with support and permission from DNR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">DNR has long been concerned about vehicle access there, including the high levels of traffic, unauthorized use of the gate by non-WCC-members during a period when WCC members were granted access by the former private landowner, and potential liability issues. Updates will be posted here, on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/washingtonclimberscoalition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WCC facebook page<\/a> and on <a href=\"http:\/\/nwgranite.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">guidebook author Kelly Sheridan&#8217;s blog<\/a>. Please do your part to help preserve access to Gold Bar by being polite if confronted by DNR personnel and not parking so as to block the gate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ownership\/Management:<\/strong><br \/>\nCombination of DNR and BLM land (Manke Timber sold their parcel here to the State of Washington in 2014).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Current Status:<\/strong><br \/>\nOpen for pedestrian access.\u00a0 Closed to vehicles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Climbers may still access the area on foot but please:<br \/>\n<\/strong>1. Do not park so as to block the road.<br \/>\n2. Be courteous and respectful of other users.<br \/>\n3. Do not drive off the main roadway or bypass the gate. Off-road activity was what led to the closure of the road in the first place.<br \/>\n4. Do not cut down trees. This is timber land.<br \/>\n5. Display a Discover Pass.<br \/>\n7.
