Day Hike - Wallace Falls

Trip Goals:

• To build endurance and conditioning 
• To enjoy the beauty of three waterfalls!
• To enjoy one another's company and make meaningful connections along the way
• To complete a 10-mile loop at Wallace Falls State park

Trip Expectations: 

• That you're on time at the parking lot prepared and ready to be social and engaging.
• That we stay together as a group (to see one another at all times) and build community and trust with one another. 
• That you are fully prepared for a 10 mile hike with plenty of nutrition, hydration and stamina.
• That we treat one another with respect, compassion and understanding.
• That we stay together as a group for the entire hike. (This means being able to see someone in front and back of you at all times. I do not break the group up, nor have people go ahead out of site.) 

Trip Style: 

• I'm an inclusive leader: compassionate and approachable
• While I am destination-focused for this walk, I also appreciate nature and pointing out the beauty that we see around us.
• I'm a leader who appreciates engaged participants where teamwork and community are priority
• I am firm and definitive with logistics and my expectations, yet willing to provide flexibility as circumstances allow. 

Land Acknowledgement: "I acknowledge that the land we will be recreating on is situated on the unceded traditional lands of the Coast Salish people, specifically the Duwamish Tribe, who have been the original caretakers of this land since time immemorial. We honor their legacy and ongoing presence in our community."

Photos: I'll be taking group shots during our time to post to the private Mountaineers Foothills Hiking Facebook page. If you would prefer not to have your photo taken, please let me know ahead of time.
