weyerhaeuser permit required

I attempted Winters Mountain on June 29th 2025 and ran into closed gates. There is an old trip report on Peakbagger for this summit but it looks like Weyerhaeuser has now closed access to recreational use permit holders. You can do Crazy Man Mountain and 1570 (W7W/PL-152) as easy drive ups from the Salmon Creek and "Camp Nine" roads.  I posted trip reports for those to PNWSota.

Gate photo and driving route shown below (purple is planned route, cyan is actual drive).

A Weyerhaeuser "Longview St Helens" motorized permit is required for this route: Take I5 to Exit 32; head East on Kalama River Road to very end. That is gate 6000 unlock gate and pass through. Take Road 6000 all the way to the end where you run into a gate is for non-motorized access.
