Meet at Ash Way Park and Ride in Lynnwood, 16327 Ash Way, Lynnwood, WA 98087 (exit 183 off I-5) at 7:30am, or at the trailhead at 8:45am. We will start from the Samish Overlook parking lot; limited parking, vault toilet, Discover Pass required. The gravel road to the trailhead has some potholes and is quite steep in places. I do fine with my Toyota Corolla. I will send more detailed directions a few days before the hike.
