Day Hike - Poo Poo Point via High School Trail

After Hours Conditioning Hike at a Moderate Pace

  • Moderate/Strenuous
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 6.6 mi
  • Elevation Gain: 2,100 ft
  • Pace: 2 mph

Issaquah High School, 4:30 pm. More precise instructions will be provided by email.

This trip will leave from the High School trailhead, not the Chirico trail. This adds to the mileage and gain. We will hike through forest and the Many Creeks Valley. Bring a sack dinner to eat while we enjoy the view. Paraagliders may provide dinner entertainment if the wind is right.

"After Hours Conditioning Hike at a Moderate Pace" is not a series anyone joins. It is a label so people understand that our goal is to:

  • Condition for summer hiking - these are "real" hikes. If you do not have a pack with appropriate gear, you are not conditioning.
  • Our pace is moderate - about 2 mph (travel time). We have a time constraint in that we need to be back at the cars before dark. Sometimes we need to be back before a gate is locked, If you do not know if you can maintain that pace, please cancel and sign up for a morning hike. That way you can time yourself without getting an entire group's cars locked in overnight.
  • The hikes are after-hours. Please cancel and sign up for a day hike if you do not like to hike in the evening.

The hikes are open to all members for whom those goals are a good fit.
