Leader's notes

This will be a leisurely paced trip, allowing lots of time for photos. We will stay together and take rest stops every hour. Leader is slow and we will regroup at the top of hills. Several hills are steep and icy, quality snowshoes required. (MSR) This trip will be geared toward photo's and socializing, not conditioning. If you are fast, please choose another trip.

Mt Baker is known for stormy weather. We will opt for an alternate trip if the weather is too windy and wet.

Meeting place and time

Meet at 6:45 at the South Everett park and ride, off 112th. The drive is at least two hrs, with limited parking.
