- Early season backpacking trip to a beautiful lake near Packwood, WA.
Group will meet at 9am on Saturday morning at the trailhead. Carpooling strongly recommended. Will aim to get to the campsites by 2pm and set up camp. Then we’ll explore the area from there. Please prepare to share a tent since the campsites are smaller and the location is a popular early season spot. We want to get down to 5 tents maximum. We’ll stay the night and pack up by 10am and aim to get back to the cars by 3pm.
