Leader's notes

Other outings to this stupendous venue have been August/September trips, so a key part of this trip will be to discover how to best enjoy this spot with early season conditions. As a minimum we will ascend from near the Nisqually bridge parking area to the southern aspect of the cleaver separating Wilson Park from Van Trump Park:
