The Green Trails(GT) map for this hike is: #203S:Cougar Mtn, you can also download a free park map at:
http://your.kingcounty.gov/ftp/gis/Web/VMC/recreation/BCT_CougarMtn_brochure.pdf
We will hike approx. 5-6 miles with around 500 ft elevation gain. Please make sure you have a copy of the map available on the hike you do not need to run out and buy the GT one for our hike, the park map is fine.
If you find that you need to cancel from a hike, then PLEASE let the leader know as soon as possible. This cannot possibly be over-emphasized. It’s OK to cancel from a hike after signup closes—that happens to everyone at times. If you do cancel after signup is closed, then it is a good practice to call/text & email the leader in addition to cancelling on the club website.
Carpooling Wiki: Hikers can carpool to the P&R and then to the trailhead or meet at the P&R and figure rides out there. The carpool preference/area info is part of your profile on the club website and can be used by riders and drivers for contacting each other. If you set your profile to public, other hikers on this hike will be able to view carpool info. Click on the roster tab in the hike trip and click on other hiker names to see their carpool info. The sooner you touch base with a driver/riders the easier it will be to get meeting details figured out.
