Naches Ranger District, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest; Minor 
Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail Relocation

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: A minor relocation (approximately 2,000 feet) will occur on 
the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail (PCNST) in 2009. The trail will 
be re-routed from its current location within the White Pass Ski Area 
south to the Wilderness boundary on the edge of the expansion area with 
the purpose of maintaining a quality, uninterrupted backcountry 
experience for PCNST users and to minimize their views of ski area 
structures and facilities. All activities were analyzed in the White 
Pass Expansion Master Development Plan Proposal Final Environmental 
Impact Statement and documented in the June 2007 Record of Decision. 
Relocation will begin in July 2009 and is expected to be completed by 
fall 2009. Trail relocation will be done in conjunction with the 
Pacific Crest Trail Association.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Direct questions regarding this trail 
relocation to Randall Shepard, Naches District Ranger, USDA, Okanogan-
Wenatchee National Forest, 10237 US Highway 12, Naches, WA 98937, 509-
