Due to the small trailhead (only 15 cars able to access), we will carpool to the trailhead. We will meet at Ash Way Park and Ride in Lynnwood at 7:00 AM. Pam and I will be in the southwest corner of the lot. Pam drives a silver Honda CRV and I drive a bronze Acura TL.
WTA Description (See for directions and current trip reports):
This out and back hike will be a 7ish mile hike with approximately 700 feet elevation gain.  The first part of the trail is along the river, past a couple waterfalls on a wide, gentle trail. Then the trail veers away from the river into the forest, up a few switchbacks. Most of the hike is up and down in elevation. This trail varies, with some rocks, roots, and muddy spots.. We will have to navigate a few creek crossings. Poles will be helpful.
As we hike, we will take short breaks as needed for snacks, party separations and pictures.  At our turn around point, we will take about a 20–30-minute sit down lunch/snack break.
There is a vault toilet on the forest service road a mile before the trailhead, no facilities at the trailhead. No parking pass is needed.
