The Liberty area hosts a series of 4×4 trails in steep mountain terrain. When it is dry, the dirt can be loose and slippery in places. When wet, the mud will make it treacherous in most areas. There are lots of off-camber situations and steep hill climbs, often combined for extra fun.

Seasonal closure in effect from snowfall until it is announced open, which usually happens by Memorial Weekend. The “Cle Elum Trails Off-Road Team” Facebook group is a good place to check for updates.

This is a challenging area in the best conditions, much worse in winter. If you want a serious challenge, this is the place to go. Much of Liberty is not for beginners. Liberty is probably the 2nd hardest ORV area in WA.
