The official meeting place is the East Sunset Trailhead parking lot in Issaquah at 7:00 AM. It is 100 yards south of I-90 at exit #18. The address is 665 E Sunset Way, Issaquah, WA. We can carpool from there to the trailhead.
If you are coming from the south-end up SR 18, please make a note of that in the carpool notes so you can arrange a carpool from the Maple Valley/Kent area AND/OR we can meet you in North Bend.
Ingalls Lake is a gorgeous place, especially on a clear fall day. It is super popular on the weekends, so if possible come on a weekday.
Please read some of these WTA reports and enjoy the photos from previous Octobers
Note that because of the fairly high elevation, there is a risk of some cold temperatures and snow/ice on the trail. That will not stop us. Everybody coming on this trip must have waterproof shoes, (Gore-Tex running shoes are okay), gaiters, (low top are okay), traction devices (microspikes or yaktrax) and trekking poles. You must also bring a puffy jacket, winter gloves, winter cap, insulating sit pad and all the other 10 essentials.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In the event of a forecast for lousy weather on Tuesday, this trip might be postponed until later in the week, (likely Thursday) OR changed to a Tiger / Squak / Cougar area hike OR maybe both of those.
I will notify everybody by email by Sunday evening if I decide to make that change. Email me your suggestions on Sunday if you want some input in the decision.
By signing up for this trip, you agree to this flexibility.
