We will meet at the Enumclaw McDonald's (110 Roosevelt Ave E, Enumclaw, WA 98022) at 8am. We will check in here and combine cars if needed and then head to the trailhead. The trailhead at Tipsoo Lake is about an hour away. There is a bathroom at the trailhead. You will need a NW Forest Pass or an America the Beautiful Pass to park at the trailhead.
