The Far East Forest is a climbing area in the Skykomish Ranger District of Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington, managed by the State Department of Natural Resources. It sits within the national forest's ranger district, and the surrounding land is overseen by the state agency rather than the Forest Service. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 72°F with lows near 54°F and only about nine or ten wet days a month. Winter is much wetter and colder, with highs in the low 40s and snow on several days a month from December through March. Sausage Links Boulder is just 0.1 mile away, and Zeke's Wall is about half a mile off. The Lake Isabel Trail is roughly 0.9 mile away, and Heybrook Lookout offers camping about 3.9 miles from the forest.
