access to Dakobed range? was created by Pete A
hoping that some of y'all might be able to help me with a question about accessing the dakobed range. 
Last I heard the trail (and road too?) into the kennedy hot springs and sitkum glacier area was destroyed by floods a few years ago and hasn't been restored. 
I think that was the shortest, most reasonable approach to the dakobed range, but are there other ways in that don't require a marathon length ski haul to get there?  just curious. thanks.

I've been there via Boulder Pass over Clark Mtn and the Little Giant Pass dropping down into the Napeeka Valley to Butterfly Butte. Would have to look at the map for which roads those were. Probably longer than the Glacier Peak access. Are you thinking of going this weekend?

Try the N Fork Sauk to White Pass. From there you can easily cross over into the upper White Chuck drainage and on to the Suiattle and Honeycomb Glaciers. If memory serves, it's around 8 miles to White Pass.

thanks for the info....n.fork of the sauk doesn't look too bad

and yeah, might be heading in there next week....not sure yet. hopefully there would still be good enough snow back in there to make the trip worthwhile.

send me an email or PM if you are interested in hooking up.  I could get away over a 4-5 day period starting this weekend.  not sure about later next week.
