Hike starts gentle then begins a long but not steep 'up' then after high point descends back to trailhead. Trekking poles OK. Lunch on trail.

We will meet at the park n ride located near Hwy 512 and South Tacoma Way at 7:30 AM to car pool. WA State Discover Pass required for trailhead parking. I will be driving a dark=ish red Toyota Tundra for ID.
