7:00 am at the Horseshoe Bend trail head, at the east end of the town of Glacier, on the right immediately after SR 542 crosses the Nooksack River. This parking lot is across the street from the entrance to the Douglas Fir campground, where I will be staying in site #9.

Scramblers participating on this trip have priority for signing up on my Goat Mt scramble on Thursday and can stay with me at the Douglas Fir campground in the town of Glacier.
