Join us for a Friday hike in search of wild rhododendrons in bloom. We will hike up the switch-backs of a steep trail at 2.0 miles an hour under canopies of fir, hemlock, and rhododendrons. At the top, we'll follow a spur to views of Mt Townsend & the Olympics.

We will stop at the top for lunch at the top to enjoy the views.
