Trip
Intermediate Snowshoe - Hex Mountain
Late season snowshoe to the summit of Hex Mountain. Plan to carry snowshoes for most of the trek since the area was light on snow until a recent series of storms. The trip is strenuous due to the the elevation gain, but we plan to travel as a group and maintain a talking pace.

I plan to depart from the Issaquah Transit Center Parking Deck at 7:30am, and this is a good spot to arrange carpooling.
