The hike is mostly on firm former road or railroad grade with a few puddles and muddy spots. The hike should only take about three hours. Group lunch after the hike in Granite Falls if desired. For the season, I recommend rain gear, pack rain covers and water resistent footwear. Hiking poles can add a margin of stabilty in places that have wet leaves or morning frost.
