7:00 AM at the Trailhead as we will want to start early to avoid the other enthusiastic hikers.
From I-90, take exit 15 stating Lake Sammamish/Renton Highland 900. At the stoplight at the end of the exit turn onto Highway 900/Renton-Issaquah Road and go south toward Renton. From the stoplight drive 3.2 miles and turn left at the easy-to-miss driveway with a large blue Cougar Mountain Recreation sign. The large parking lot is straight ahead.
A nice hike through the woods to condition for summer hikes. Bring a snack for a stop at Debbie's Viewpoint. Hikers must be capable of a moderate pace (approx. 2 mph). I will encourage 10 feet distance from each other during the hike to maintain appropriate social distancing with exertion.
