8 AM Snoquera Palisades TH. Carpooling is optional.
Vaccination required due to car shuttle. The plan is to have a car at Snoquera Palisades and another at Little Ranger Creek. This will allow us to traverse the Palisades trail from end to end with a stop at Little Ranger Peak. The summit is a rocky prominence, you must be comfortable with hiking up rocks. The rest of the trail is in pretty good condition with some blowdown.
There are pretty waterfalls on the route up and views of Mt. Rainier and the peaks of the White River valley if the day is clear.
