Olympic National Park officials are proposing to use a "back door" to restore access to the Queets Area, which has been closed to vehicular traffic since March 2005 when a rock slide undercut the main road into the area.
The proposal calls for traffic to use U.S. Forest Service and Washington state Department of Natural Resources roads to connect with an NPS road. These roads generally have been used only for administrative and emergency purposes.
Olympic is taking public comment on this proposal through January. You can find details of the proposal, and make comments, at this site.
