Trip open to all branches and eligible members. The pace is listed as 1.8-2.3 mph, but we will adjust to trail/snow conditions and a pace that allows conversations. Should the weather and or trail conditions work against us, we will discuss and agree to alternatives as a group. Other than personal bio-breaks, we will stay together as a group within speaking distance of one another. Our plan would be to spend no more than 15-20 min. at the objective, rest, and enjoy a snack, prior to returning.
Take Exit 34 off of I-90 and drive north on 468th Ave SE for ~0.5 mile. Turn right onto SE Middle Fork Road, continue for 2.5 miles, turn right and drive ~200 yards to the Mailbox Peak trailhead (900 ft). We will meet at the trailhead sign at 7:00 AM SHARP for a quick hike meet-n-greet and be on the trail by 7:15 AM.
