Plan to meet at the trailhead. Will look at starting a little later morning as this hike is a significant drive from Seattle area.
Leader will be staying in the area and leading hikes both Sat/Sun so if participants would like to do the same (availability permitting) or has questions feel free to email!
Located between Quincy and George Wa. This area is relatively flat, fun, filled with a variety of views, and miles of trails so please plan on having a great map! The water in the area is NOT safe for drinking even if filtered so plan on carrying a little extra.
