Leader's notes

We will go off-trail at 3rd Burroughs and continue on the bootpath along a ridge (if I determine it to be of little risk and not a scramble). You should be comfortable with this sort of thing.

There will probably still be some snow going to 3rd Burroughs and coming down from 1st. Most people will not need traction for these. You should be somewhat comfortable on snow and bring traction if you are not.

Meeting place and time

7:30 at the White River Campground parking lot

6:30 Enumclaw Ranger station to consolidate cars/carpool

I'll need 1 person to pick me up at East Sunset Way trailhead in Issaquah at 5:45. This will add 6 minutes to your trip for someone that is north and west of I-90.
