A steady uphill hike to a peak with great views!

We will meet at the Puyallup/South Hill Park N Ride, Hwy 512 and 94th Ave. E. at 7:00 am to car pool to the trail head. For participants from the north (of Bonney Lake), we may meet at the Safeway parking lot on Roseveldt Ave. in Enumclaw. No parking permit is required for drives at the trailhead.

Trail starts off with a steady uphill for a mile and a half, then continues at a more moderate (?) level to the summit.
