Our trip goal is to have an enjoyable day hike in the Sunrise area, and tag Skyscraper Mountain. Since the summit of Skyscraper is over 7,000', we may encounter some snow along the route, but hopefully there will be some trip reports out prior that will give us a better idea of what to expect. As always, we will hike together as a group, making sure to do everything safely. We should get rewarded with some amazing views.
Plan is to meet for carpooling to Sunrise at the Enumclaw Public Library parking lot at 5:00 am. There we'll consolidate vehicles to Sunrise Visitors Center, ensuring we get through the Sunrise gate by 6:30. If you desire to meet at the Visitors Center, please let me know prior so I'll know who to expect and plan to arrive at Sunrise by 6:45 am. We'll be boots-on-trail by 7:00 am. More details in Hello Hikers e-mail after registration closes.
