Day Hike - Poo Poo Point via Chirico Trail

We'll meet in the Issaquah High School parking lot (700 2nd Ave SE, Issaquah) at 10am.  No parking pass required.  From there, we'll walk to the trail entrance off of 2nd Ave SE.   

Restrooms won't be accessible at the school, but nearby Squak Valley Park or Issaquah Community Center have public restrooms available.  There is also a Clivus toilet near the top of the trail.

There will be an optional post-hike stop at the Issaquah Rogue Brewhouse (35 W Sunset Way, Suite C, Issaquah), just a 5-minute drive from the high school.

We'll hike to popular Poo Poo point, an outcrop off of Tiger Mountain where on a clear day you can sometimes see paragliders launching.  The goal is to avoid weekend crowds by taking  the quieter and longer High School Trail  (instead of the Chirico trail). 

The trail has some steep sections, but we'll be hiking at a comfortable pace (1.5-2mph) so as to keep it manageable for moderate difficulty.  We'll stop at the top for lunch before heading back down the same way. Total mileage should be about 8 for the day, and total hiking time will likely be between 4-5 hours, depending on the needs and pace of the group.
