Leader's notes

This is a beautiful hike with sweeping mountain views, lakes, and, hopefully, there will still be flowers. The elevation gain is moderate so you get a lot of beauty without having to work too hard!

Meeting place and time

The trailhead can get very crowded so we'll get an early start. We'll meet at the trailhead at 7:15 and aim to be on the trail and hiking by 7:30. For those who wish to carpool, we'll meet at the Enumclaw Safeway at 6:15.
