Hood Canal Ranger District Quilcene Station at 7:45 AM. You must meet here and we must get everybody into 2 vehicles. there is very little room at the trailhead. Demographic data will be sent out 2 days before the hike so that folks can self-organize carpooling to the ranger station.
There is a bridge that makes me a little nervous (I'm a 3 out of 10 when it comes to exposure), it's at least 10 feet above a creek and not perfectly flat, but it does have a handrail. I might use foot traction if it is slippery.
