Meeting place and time

47.02300463876899, -119.9919448515582 (plug that in to google maps)

8:30 at this location. It is a little pull-out on the right side of the road just after you get past the cliffs and not far from the river. If the pull-out is full, park on the right side of the street. No privy, Discover Pass required.

One carpooling option is East Sunset Way Trailhead at 6:15. https://goo.gl/maps/EaT7Ndn2Es367Gfj7

I will need at least 1 driver willing to stop there (I need a ride).
