Day Hike - Big Creek Loop

This is a hike early in the hiking conditioning series.  While The Mountaineers judges it as an "easy" hike, it might be a little more challenging for some folks early in their hiking conditioning journey.  The trail ascends for about half the loop, then mostly descends for the rest of the loop.  Therefore we will walk the loop trail counter-clockwise to gradually build hiking stamina, and we will monitor the speed so it suits the whole group.  We'll stop at the top/mid-point to have lunch/snacks near the pretty creek and enjoy the views.  We will hike rain or shine so be prepared for the weather.  Full details will be emailed to the participants closer to the hike date.

I would welcome a current hike leader to assist lead, please email me directly if that is you.

We will meet at an Olympia park & ride to encourage carpooling to the trailhead.  Individual driving is allowed though we will all meet up before driving off as much as able.  Full details will be emailed to participants closer to the hike date.
