You'll see the parking on the right hand side of the road. Please park perpendicular to the road, there is plenty of room and this will leave room for more hikers.

6:50 at the Enumclaw Forest Service office is 1 carpooling option.

I will send out participant information in the hello hikers (Saturday night) to help you self-arrange carpooling.
