Day Hike - Margaret's Way

Due to the number in our group (12) and in order to be respectful of other hikers needing to park at the trailhead, we will be meeting at 8:45 a.m. at the Tibbetts Valley Park (Park and Ride) in the town of Issaquah.  Tibbetts Valley P & R is located directly across the street from the Issaquah Transit Center and in the same parking lot as the Skate Park (directions below).  We will consolidate in to three cars and then travel together a short distance (3.2 miles) to the trailhead.  Please arrive no later than 9:00 am if you are meeting us at the Margaret's Way trailhead. 

Directions to Tibbetts Valley Park and Ride parking lot: I-90 East to Exit 15, WA-900 W/17^th Ave NW. Use the right 2 lanes to turn right onto WA-900 W/17^th Ave NW.  In approximately 0.5 miles, turn left onto Newport Way NW. Turn rightinto the parking lot. 

Our pace will be conversational, slow to moderate pace following the Margaret's Way trail to Debbie's view.  We will stop for breaks along the way.  

Required equipment:  The Ten Essentials, including rain gear and extra layers.  This time of year, it is good practice to bring microspikes as well, in case we hit snow or ice on the trail.  You may wish to bring snacks or a warm beverage to enjoy.
