This is not your typical hike as we'll be spending the majority of it (4.6mi out of 5.3mi) in an old railroad tunnel. It makes for a unique experience.
Now, why would this hike be planned for the middle of the day, especially the hottest part of it? It's simple, the tunnel has natural A/C (it can get pretty cold so a jacket is recommended for some parts of it) and the darkness of the tunnel contrasts nicely against the brightness of the afternoon sun.
Prior to signing up for this hike, please take into account the following (many of these are repeated for emphasis):
- Please take note of the pace listed above
- A headlamp and jacket are required as it is very dark and gets reasonably cold in the tunnel
- (Encouraged) Reflective material since there are a number of cyclists
- "Hello Hiker" e-mail sent out soon after registration closes (check your "spam" folder)
Meet at 1 PM at Issaquah Transit Center.
- Please arrive on time and account for traffic.
- We'll carpool from the meeting location to the trailhead.
