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.
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.
