Day Hike - Pack Forest
Join me for a good early hiking season conditioner that keeps your boots relatively dry in the event of wet weather. We'll be on forest service roads for most of the hike which will take a Figure 8 route and include a great view of Mount Rainier (on a clear day).

Please prepare for this hike with the Ten Essentials, dress for the weather, and wear water-proof boots. We'll do two separate loops that form a Figure 8 shape and exposes a great view of Mount Rainier on clear days; this view-point will be our stop for a lunch break. I'd like this to be hiked at a pace to allow us to condition for spring and summer hiking, and as such we'll try to maintain a reasonable but steady pace. The hike will be cancelled or rescheduled in the event of heavy rain or high winds in the forecast.
Details about the meeting place and time will be sent to registered participants three days prior to the hike.
