This is a sweet trail through thick forest and along a burbling creek. We'll see everything a PNW forest is known for. There are some steep sections near the beginning of the trails that we will handle with care. We'll also encounter about 12 sets of stairs that are short (about 10 steps each). Feel free to bring a camera or field guides if you want to pause for a photo or examination of the plant life in the trees.
9:00 am Tibbets Valley Park and Ride in Issaquah: 965 12th Ave NW, Issaquah. We're meeting at the park & ride and will consolidate cars as the parking area at the trailhead is rather small.
