US Forest Service Ranger Station in Enumclaw at 7:00 am
450 Roosevelt Ave E, Enumclaw, WA 98022
This hike is relatively short and easy at 4 miles and 1000 feet of gain. Note that most of the gain occurs over a short distance as we ascend the butte. We can meet at the U.S. Forest Service Ranger Station at 7:00 am to carpool. The hope is to make this a pleasant morning hike so we are back home for the afternoon holiday festivities.
NOTE: Please do not bring any fireworks with you on this trip.
This can also be a warm up hike for my Saturday Crystal Peak hike. ;)
