Meet at 7:30 am at the Ravenna P&R beneath I-5 at 65th north. We will be north of 65th at the far north end of the parking lot.
This will be a Naturalist's trip so we will stop at times for appreciation and identification. Between stops we will hike at a moderate pace. I haven't visited this particular hike for many years but I know this valley has a reputation for magnificent old growth. It will be fun to explore the Sauk valley together. I would think a camera would be a good choice. Also bring a loupe as we can work on some mosses as well.
