Poo Poo Point via the high school trail is a great spring conditioning hike. Our main goal is safety, followed by fun. I plan to have us stay together as a group, stopping for clothing adjustments, water and snack breaks and all intersections. We are going to aim for a pace of 1.8-2.3 mph going slower on the way up and a bit faster on the way down.
We will meet at the Issaquah high school parking lot on the far east side of the parking lot, closest to the fence and bottom of Tiger mountain. We will start hiking at 8 am, so please arrive at 7:45. There is a portable toilet to use, prior to the hike. We plan to circle up at 8 am to do brief introductions and begin hiking. Please don't forget to bring rain gear. We will hike rain or shine.
