"June 26th, 2020, Friday, Day 1: Arrived at the Stafford Creek Trailhead with very typical summer volumes; 40+ cars, lot overflowing onto the road but able to park without trouble. Weather: Sun and 75-degrees. Two hours to the Bean Creek Basin cut over trail. Set up camp in the area (well below the over popular meadow). Packed for a day hike up to 7,100' Navaho Peak. After summitting, had dinner below the pass and arrived back at camp 6:00 PM. " — MosquitoFood • Jun 26, 2020

"What a great day to get over to the Teanaway - perhaps the only place around where it wasn't dumping rain. It's nice when the weather forecasting is accurate, and it was today, with the Teanaway area partly sunny while the Cascades were supposed to be, and were, drenched. Recent trail reports have been accurate with conditions, but with conditions changing daily, a few additional observations: We're saying the road is "rough but passable," on 9703 - I think pretty much any car could navigate the potholes, but I'd be more concerned if there is a lot of recent rain (like today), as the road is a quagmire in some parts, and I think there is risk of getting stuck in the mud. The meadow area can be a bit confusing. This was our first time up, and while we didn't have any issues up or down finding the trail (perhaps because we've gotten lost enough times, we're pretty good at route finding now), it would have been nice if I had brought fresh batteries instead of dead batteries for our GPS just in case :-). I can't recall if recent reports mention the wind, but if you haven't been to this area before, know that the weather changes fast, and the wind is brutal. Everytime we've b..." — BryHong8 • May 22, 2016

"Before Navaho Peak, I went to near by Earl Peak. From Earl I headed down into the basin to the East, pretty much straight toward Navaho Pass. The basin is still full of snow. I had to get around a few rock ridges, but it wasn't too bad. From the pass, a trail leads up to Navaho Peak. Navaho has a great view of the eastern side of the Stuart Range. Bugs were a bit of a nuisance but not horrible. " — MangyMarmot • Jul 8, 2012
