Meet at 6:00AM at the Discovery Park *East Parking Lot* (off 36th Avenue West). Following introductions, description of route and current trail conditions.  No passes required. Toilets available near the starting point at Discovery Park Visitor Center.

Directions: From 15th Ave W, just south of the Ballard Bridge, head west on W Emerson Place. After you cross the railroad tracks, turn right onto Gilman Ave W. In a few blocks Gilman changes names and becomes W Government Way. Just beyond 36th Ave W, enter Discovery Park and turn into the second driveway on the left (the first is a one-way exit.) This leads to the East Parking Lot near the Visitor Center. For those traveling by bus, Metro Route 33 has a stop on W Government Way just east of the park.
