Day Hike - Hugo Peak & Windy Ridge

We will meet at 10:00 am ready to go at the TH for Hugo Peak which is located at the gatehouse at the entrance to Pack Forest on Hwy 7 in Eatonville. Parking is limited at the TH so carpooling is encouraged. Additional parking can be found in the adjacent parking lot for trailers just past the TH about 1/4 mile to the left from the entrance. Please give yourself a bit more time to find parking and allow for the additional time to walk back to the TH.

Directions: Drive Hwy 161 to Eatonville. Make a right at the traffic light and proceed one block. Make a left onto Mashell Ave and follow Mashell Ave/Hwy 161 for three miles to stop sign. Turn left onto Hwy 7. The entrance to UW Pack Forest is .3 miles down Hwy 7 on the left. The trailhead for Hugo Peak is at the entrance. 

Portable bathrooms are located at the Pack Forest conference center parking .5 from the entrance. 

The plan is to be ready to hike at 10:00 am, give introductions then hike up to Hugo Peak have a snack and a short break then proceed to a beautiful Rainier view point across Windy Ridge. We should be back to the cars about 2-3 pm. FYI and Disclaimer: The view point doesn't guarantee the view but I'll do my best!
