Chuckanut Park & Ride at 8am or Blanchard Lower trailhead at 8:30am

Directions provided closer to hike schedule.

A firm trail that starts with a easy climb for a mile to warm up then acends at 500 feet per mile for the next two and on half miles to account for about 75 percent of the total hike elevation gain. A lovely mixed forest on the quieter trails of Blanchard Mountain avoiding the Oyster Dome crowds.

Chuckanut Recreation Area map is a great resource for this and other hikes in this region.
