This is a forest service road to the top of Green mountain. It is located just north of the Verlot Ranger station and just north of Mount Pilchuck on the Mountain Loop Highway. The road starts paved with potholes and turns into a well graded fire road about 2 to three miles in. You can park anywhere up the road where you can safely and vary the amount of vertical you want to attempt. Some folks camp along the road. No pass is necessary. At the top is a ham radio repeater structure, a good view of Pilchuck, the Verlot and Robe valley, and, at the west most part of the road at 2900 feet, Mount Rainier. The ride down is an enjoyable glide but watch for vehicles around the corners. Initial Route
How to Find It
