NOTE: Route changed from Yelm-Tenino Trail -- I scouted it and deemed one of the road crossings to be too dangerous for hikers.
Out-and-back from Staircase to Camp Pleasant. You're welcome and encouraged to pack additional weight and/or break in new gear.
We'll meet at Staircase at 8:00 a.m., National Parks Pass pass required, privy available. Note the beginning of Daylight Saving Time -- set clocks (and constitutions!) one hour forward Saturday night.
