Please be prepared for winter conditions and bring your trekking poles. There are areas that could be muddy or slippery. We will be following a route that allows social distancing (remember your face covering) and some pretty woodsy trail on the last 2.0 miles that avoids the families and late starters.
On a clear day there are peekaboos of Mt Rainier, Olympics, and Cascades/Glacier Peak...
We will be meeting at the main trailhead at 8:00 AM (referred to "Bayview" on map). There is an occasionally maintained porto in the parking lot. No passes are required for parking.
There is a drive thru espresso stop in Port Gamble that's usually open (in front of Butcher & Baker building); and later after the hike if you're going to be on the road, the General Store has coffee and sandwiches...
