We'll meet at the South Hill Park n' Ride on Puyallup's South Hill at 8AM.
Address: 94th Street SW & 104th Street East, Puyallup.
An easy 10 mile hike through beautiful old growth forest. We will hike this road out to Ipsut Creek Campground, take a lunch break there or back in the sunshine along the banks of the river at the Chenuis Falls crossing. Burn off some energy, get some fresh air in beautiful surroundings with your fellow Mountaineers. Bring rain gear, lunch and water. This is an easy hike but please be aware of your ability to hike 10 miles RT. Hiking boots required.
I'll have a map for each participant.
Entrance to all National Parks is FREE this weekend.
