The trailhead is approximately three hours from Seattle - makes for a very long day. Therefore, Pam and I are staying overnight at Baker Lodge on Friday. The lodge is one mile-ish from our trailhead. I've stayed at the lodge before. It's a fun experience! Just think of it as a big sleepover!
The lodge opens between 3:00-6:00PM on Friday night. We hope to be there by 4ish. Maybe do a little before or after dinner walk and check out the surroundings!
They provide dinner on Saturday and breakfasts on Saturday and Sunday too. We are only staying over on Friday night.
I will bring a big pan of lasagna for our dinner on Friday night. We'll do a potluck! More info re. potluck in Hello Hiker email.
