Howson Peak is just south of Sasse Peak. If the conditions are good, we will run the ridge northeast up to Sasse then loop counterclockwise back to the trail head.
We will park at the French Cabin snow park http://parks.state.wa.us/DocumentCenter/View/136
We will need to stop and purchase a permit at the gas station just south of Roslin, so count on an extra 20 dollar shared fee for that.
