9am Sugarloaf Mountain Trailhead (at bottom of Mt. Erie Road)
Exact route will be TBD and can really be up to group as we hike along, as there are TONS of trail junctions to create TONS of possibilities! Expect to hike 8-10 miles and visit one or two lakes and up to 4 summits (two with fantastic views of the Salish Sea, Olympics, and as far at Mt. Rainier).
Hike will be cancelled if weather forecast is wet.
I really suggest you make a day of this and also visit local attractions like Deception pass, Anacortes, La Connor, Mount Vernon/Skagit Valley afterwards. Lots to do and see around here!
