We will consolidate cars at the Enumclaw Ranger Station and then drive to the trailhead on an entirely paved route (SR 410 and Forest Road 70). It is less than an hour's drive from the ranger station. This is a short, easy hike through a scenic forest to two pristine lakes, the second of which is our lunch stop and turnaround point. Fall colors and mushrooms may abound. There are restrooms at the meeting place and at the trailhead. A Northwest Forest Pass or equivalent must be displayed by each car at the trailhead.
Meet at 9:30 AM at the Enumclaw Ranger Station.
