Cedar and Grove park and ride, 72nd St and Cedar Ave, Marysville 98270 at 7:30 am. Directions will be emailed to participants Thursday after the hike closes.
This is a great beginner hike. There will be time for rest breaks, pictures, and time to stop and look at flowers, trees, mushrooms, or anything else we find interesting. It's not the destination it's the journey. There is beach access if you would like to bring a towel and take a dip in the lake. If you can't hike slow, you may be happier on another hike.
Plan on stopping after the hike for a bite to eat.
