TRONSEN MEADOWS NON-MOTORIZED AREA: Just north of 4000 ft. Blewett Pass on U.S. 97 is the Tronson Meadows non-motorized winter recreation area.. This area is managed by the Wenatchee River Ranger District. There is a maze of roads and trails in this area offering all levels of technical challenge and having in common the official protection from encroaching snowmobiles and their attendant noise and stink. Two roads access this area. Road # 7245 is nearest the pass and Road # 7240 is perhaps 1/8 mile further down the highway. Neither is an official Sno-Park but the WA. State DOT often does a fairly thorough job of plowing out parking at both trailheads. Parking along the highway presents the possibility of being plowed in by DOT plows. Carry a shovel in your car! 

The trail system is well-signed and there are "You Are Here" maps posted at many trail junctions. Avalanche danger is generally low in the basin due to the low-angle terrain and tree cover. The Haney Meadow trail leads up onto Tronsen ridge. It is quite steep and sometimes blocked by fallen trees. Avalanche danger is higher on this route.   Downloadable PDF map: Click Here
