We will meet just before the Fort Nisqually parking area (picnic spot) at 9:00 AM. I will be driving my dark-ish red Toyota Tundra for ID.
This will be a winter hike sponsored by Tacoma Hiking and Backpacking committee for those who are new to hiking or want to restart hiking. This will be a slow pace so all can complete!
we will follow the dark blue square route around the park (and maybe a slight diversion?).
