I expect some, but hopefully not too much, snow on the trail as well as around Sheep Lake, so bring trekking poles and micro spikes (?) for traction control. Easy pace, and children are OK if they have some experience with snow travel.

We will meet at the Puyallup South Hill Park N Ride, at 7:30 AM to car pool to the trailhead.
