Cable Line is one of the best conditioners! We will be covering ~5.9 miles and 2,377 feet of elevation gain. Since the trail up can be steep, we will hike uphill at a moderate pace. Once at the summit, we will pause for a brief snack and hydration break then run down the West Tiger 3 Trail.
For a complete description of trail running with the Mountaineers, please consult the Trail Running Standards.
Meet at 1:00PM (ready to run) at the Cable Line trailhead sign. Note that the parking area is on the side of the road *before* the gate that leads to the High Point parking lot. No parking passes required. There are no bathrooms at the trailhead - the nearest outhouse is near the High Point parking lot.
Directions: From I-90, a few miles east of Issaquah, take Exit 20 for High Point and turn south on 270th Ave SE. Just a few yards south of I-90, turn right onto SE 79th St and continue on west. The trail head is in ~0.3 miles, *before* the gate to the parking lot.
