Preference to Tacoma Branch Introduction to Backpacking Students. Trip will open to all Mountaineers based on availability on April 18. Registered participants must provide leader with proof of vaccination before the trip.  If you are fully vaccinated I have the ability to assign you the Covid 19 Administrative Badge, if needed.

At the trailhead, we will gather then proceed towards Deception Pass.  We will look for a group campsite alongside the Lake, once found, we will set up camp.

On the way towards home, we may stop at a local 'eatery' to fuel our safe travel home.
