We will meet at 5:30 am at the south end of Ash Way Park & Ride in Lynnwood, just west of I-5, for the long drive. Post-hike meal will be at Upriver Grill & Taproom (60084 Washington Highway 20, Marblemount, WA 98267).
Note, this hike is subject to change due to fire, weather, or other conditions, but hopefully this year we'll have clear trails and blue skies.
If you've hiked with us you know we'll likely be between 2.3 and 2.5 MPH. We'll also be observing an hour of silent time to tune into our senses and quietly contemplate our surroundings.
Here's the WTA description (note distances seem to vary between 12 and 14 miles, but at 4000 feet of gain, you'll get a good workout regardless). https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/sahale-arm
