Meet at Licorice Fern Trailhead at 8 am. There is no actual lot, parking alongside the road only. No parking pass required.
Coordinates: 47.50324, -122.11216
We'll gather at 8, go over the trip details and introductions and get to hiking shortly after.
This trail, while not a lot of elevation gain, does have some narrow sections that are rocky and uneven. We will take it slow on these sections.
Goals:
- To reach fall country falls, enjoy a short break and snack and head back to the cars.
- Foster community and belonging.
- Lead and learn in a collaborative spirit.
- Foster compassion, understanding and curiosity with one another, and in nature.
- Have fun, be safe and enjoy one another's company.
Expectations:
- Commitment to arrive on time at the trailhead, prepared and ready to be social and enjoy the hike.
- Commitment to communicate with me for any concerns and/or questions before and during the trip.
- Commitment to having fun.
- The group will stay together. This means seeing a head in front and in back of you at all times.
Style:
- Through actions and words, I lead through an inclusive lens.
- I foster community within the group.
- I lead a slower to moderate pace, allowing for flexibility between the two.
