9:30 at the trailhead 3/10 mile past/west of the Untanum Creek Falls Trailhead, This link is exactly where you want to go- https://goo.gl/maps/UVdfreAzYZygCGaW9  No privy, Discover Pass required.    

2-2.25 MPH average moving speed, most of the tread will be fast. At least a mile of the old road portion is overgrown. You can see where you're going, but you're walking through flowers and grasses (sometimes tall). I have not been on all of this route; this will be somewhat exploratory. There could be ticks or rattlesnakes.
