We will meet at 8:30 AM at the start of the large bridge just past the ranger's station. For anyone wishing to carpool from the Martin Way Park & Ride in Lacey, details will be sent out the week prior.

You will need a National Park Pass for your vehicle.

Our goals are to have a good time, take pictures, and get a nice hike in while we are at it. Several stops to appreciate the beauty of the area are planned, so please sign up knowing that this will be more of a social outing than a workout.

This hike will happen rain or shine so be sure to check the forecast as we get closer.
