Meet at Heart Lake parking lot at 10am. Carpooling opportunities from the Greenlake/NE 65th P&R in Seattle or Ash Way P&R just north of Lynnwood.

A correction to the template, we won't be hiking to the top of Mt Erie, you can drive there afterwards if you wish. I think the views are better at the top of Sugarloaf.

There are a few steep sections where poles would be appreciated. We may hike the loop clockwise to leave the major elevation gain and views to the latter third of the route.
