Please note, the hike is in King County, so Phase II guidelines.
I have one carpooler now so probably don't want to add more due to Covid concerns.
This is a strenuous hike and posted last minute. We want to ascend at a reasonable pace to avoid the heat have a good time. For that reason, no "guests". Mountaineer members only please. Please have done a similar hike of 3k'+ gain recently.
Also, look at recent WTA trip reports. Bug spray recommended. https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/granite-mountain
