***IMPORTANT:  Those signing up for all 3 can sign up first starting 4/6 @8am.    Those not signing up for all 3 hikes can start signing up on 4/10 @8am.  Please follow this guideline as I'll need to remove your name if you don't.

The 3 hikes proposed are:

5/18 - Cape Horn out & back: 5-6mi/1300-1500' gain

5/19 - Dog Mtn:  6.5mi loop: 6.5mi/2800-3000' gain

5/20 - Coyote Wall Classic Full Loop: 6.5mi/1500-1750' gain

I'm leading these because I want to enjoy the views and flowers.  These hikes will be led at a moderate pace.

There may be changes to these hikes, but the stats will be similar if other hikes are proposed.

I may increase the roster size if there are many waitlisted.

Accommodations are on your own.  I should be at the WestCliff Lodge in Hood River 5/18-21th, although this could change

Bad weather will likely cancel the hikes.

Meeting Place: @TH (about 3-3.5hr drive from Seattle)

Meeting Time:  11am, but subject to change.

Carpooling to be determined later, but it may be difficult so do plan on driving solo if it's a must.
