We will meet at the Tibbetts Park and Ride that morning at 7:30 am. We will then convene, introduce ourselves, and drive to the trailhead. We will meet in the uncovered lot across the street from the garage.
Tibbetts Park and Ride Directions:
This is an easy, less populated hike through lovely forest in North Bend. A great way to get outdoors on a mid-January morning.
No special gear required. Although, being winter, plan on layering well.
I plan on a pace of about 1.5 mph, although will assess and go at a speed good for the entire group. This hike is intended as a gentle conditioning for those who don't have a lot of time, but want to get outside and keep the January gloom away!
Afterwards, we can discuss gathering as a group at Issaquah Coffee Company (very close to the P&R) for a snack and some great coffee.
