Let's plan to start from the trailhead at 9AM. The trailhead is located at 1912 Buffalo Road in East Selah, NE of Yakima, google map location https://goo.gl/maps/7ajMxJBXTEUwH71z7. The Mountaineers are currently telling us to avoid carpools except with people you are regularly exposed to - we can chat about this when we know who is coming along.
This will be a brisk-paced hike along Yakima Ridge to Gracie Point. It may be quite cold! More details about gear and conditions will be sent before the hike.
