9:00am ready to hike, (please arrive earlier to get ready). We’ll meet in the parking lot by my car. I have a white Subaru Crosstrek and will pop the trunk. My car will be on the South Side of the parking lot. Google maps calls our lot ‘High Point Trailhead’. Here is the google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/QdwirwHW96bwxxe47
Directions: From I-90 take exit 20 and then turn right onto the frontage road paralleling the interstate. In just under 0.5 mile the road ends at a gate. The gate opens daily. Pass the gate and continue another 0.4 mile to the large lot.
Discover Pass required, there are public facilities at the trailhead.
Required Equipment
Leaders will send out a Hello Hiker email prior to the hike that may include recommendation or requirements for equipment.
