3300 94th Ave Ct E, Puyallup, WA 98373
The plan is to meet at 8:00 am at the park and ride in Puyallup just off highway 512. From there, we can carpool to the trailhead.
This is a very pleasant hike and should be a good escape from summer heat in the lowlands.
Feel free to join my other hikes this week as well.
