Wells Meadow Trail (4W328)

Distance: 1.5 Miles
Running Time: Approx. .5 hours
Difficulty: More Difficult

The Wells Meadow trail runs from FS3100 up the ridge to meet with the Manastash trail (4W306) by way of Wells Meadow.  The trail meanders though forest, meadows and crosses over Manastash creek before making its final ascent to meet up with the 4W306 trail.

The Wells Meadow Trail is a scenic drive that is a fairly easy trail unitl things get wet, then it becomes more difficult.  This is a good route to take if you wish to get onto the Manastash trail without driving all the way to the top of Quartz mountain.

Getting There:

From Ellensburg,  follow Umptanum road west 1.66 miles and turn right onto Manastash Road (there is a school here on the right) Continue west on Manastash Road (which turns into FS31) for 21.5 miles where you will cross a small bridge. After the bridge turn left and continue on FS3100 for another 6.5 miles. The Wells Meadow Trail is on the left and as of 6/28/06 there was a trail head marker here.
