Meet at 10 AM at the Starbucks at 1436 Auburn Way S, in Auburn, which is at the corner of Auburn Way S and M Street. Cars cannot be left there during the hike, so plan to meet elsewhere for carpooling before going to Starbucks.
From the Starbucks meeting place, we will caravan to the trailhead on 188th Ave SE, near SE 370th St., reached by heading east on SR 164. This is a pleasant meandering loop hike through the scenic fall foliage of a large King County Park along the shore of the Green River. The seven mile hike provides a nice workout.
