Meet at trailhead at 1000 or, if you are car pooling, suggested meeting place is church of the nazerene in poulsbo at 0900.
This is a conditioning hike for folks in pretty decent condition. 2 miles up; 2000 foot elevation gain. average 1000 foot elevation gain per mile; this is a significant elevation gain rate. not crazy, but significant.
Goal pace is 1 hour up and 1 hour down. But, in the end, we will hike together and slowest hiker will set the pace.
