See trip sheet for all the specifics, but in the meantime, here's the gist:

This is our first conditioning hike of the season, yay! We'll be hiking approximately 7.5 miles, 1800' elevation gain. As this is a conditioning hike, we'll maintain a steady MAC pace (average 2.5mph) and will aim for a brief stop or two along the trail for layer adjustment/water/party separation breaks. We will also take a short break at the lake for lunch/snacks.

If you are driving, please meet at the trailhead at 8:30am. You'll need a NW Forest pass or equivalent to park in the lot.

If space allows, leader's super friendly golden retriever, Zoe, will be joining us on the trip. If you're allergic or dog-phobic, please inform Stephanie, and Zoe will stay behind and keep the couch warm. 

See trip sheet for details.
