Meet at the El Capitan park and ride, exit 189 on El Capitan Way in south Everett at 8 AM. If needed we can also stop at the Monroe park and ride to accommodate hikers in that area.
Enjoy views of Mount McCauseland, Lictenberg Mountain and Lake Valhalla and perhaps a little snow. I recommend bringing along traction devices for your boots as there are a few locations on the trail that collect water that may be frozen this time of year. Please plan for the whole day as we may stop in Monroe for a dine out after the hike.
