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.
