This is a great beginner or first hike of the season. It will be a slow paced hike. There will be time to visit the lakeshore and take pictures. Hopefully there will be some early season flowers. When I hiked the trail the end of March there were also butterflies and moths. We hike if it rains. The trail is wide enough for an umbrella.
We can stop for sub sandwiches in Bellingham after the hike.
Cedar and Grove park and ride in Marysville, 7:15 am. Directions will be emailed to participants Thursday after the hike closes.
