Finney-Cumberland Road is a short, easy cross-country ski route in Washington, about half a mile from the town of Hazel. The road is an out-and-back with a total length of about a mile, and it rises from roughly 1,869 feet to about 1,909 feet, with a total gain of about 58 feet. The climb is front-loaded, with the steepest stretch at about 0.2 miles from the start, where the grade reaches about 5 percent. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Darrington show January highs around 40°F with lows near 30°F, and the station sits well below the road, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Finney Peak, a cross-country ski destination, lies about 1.2 miles away. Gee Point Trail is a hike about 1.9 miles off, and Little Deer Creek and Deer Creek offer canoeing within about 3.5 miles.
