We will meet at the Park N Ride located behind the McDonald's near the intersection of I-5 and Hwy 512, at 8:00 AM, on Thursday, July 6, 2017.

A long drive to a great hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. We will spend the majority of time on the trail hiking along and camping near some lakes (bring bug repellent!). CHANGE COMMENTS:  Day 1: White Pass to Snow Lake (9.2+ miles), Day 2: Snow Lake to Anderson Lake (14 miles); Day 3: Anderson Lake to Chinook Pass (.2 miles). All distances are approximate!  Maps should include Green Trails "White Pass" (#303), Bumping Lake (#271), and Mt. Rainier-East (#271). OR use one of the PCT through hike maps. Families welcome, youth should be 12 yrs+ with some experience.  We will need to coordinate car rides for both beginning and ending since we cannot just levitate to the trail. Please note the 'equipment list', especially the information regarding 'waste'.

Depending upon ability level we may finish 'early'?
