Meeting place and time

We will meet at 8:30AM at the lower Townsend trailhead parking lot, google map location https://goo.gl/maps/QQX9o2QgY6caJnQYA. Vaccinated participants are encouraged to carpool as trailhead parking is limited.

Leader's notes

A pretty forest walk followed by a traverse to the top of a peak with 360-degree views over Hood Canal to Seattle and across the straits of Juan de Fuca. Gaia route can be found at https://www.gaiagps.com/public/HhWV4AxRdJf4HdCOL5rTNjYW

We'll move at a steady pace with few rest breaks so participants need to request permission based on having done similar distance and gain recently at a 2mph pace. Once on the trail we will stay together. More details will be shared as the date gets closer.

Leader will ask that all participants share their vaccination status, and those who are not vaccinated will be expected to mask up anytime that they come within 6 feet of others on the trail.
